Guest guest Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi! Just joined hoping to get some advice. My four year old has been having excessive phlegm in her throat to the point she gags and vomits throughout the day (symptoms are worst in the morning and if the house is closed up at night). Dizziness started with her about the same time (middle of June). I started with mild headaches and a strange neurological buzzing for lack of a better description about 2 weeks after her symptoms started. Our symptoms are gone within 30 minutes of leaving the house and don't return until we're home again. I finally correlated our symptoms with mold toxicity and one practitioner I use found we were both " weak " to penicillium crustosum. I just had a mold inspector and his dog (trained to detect mold in the same way DEA dogs and ATF dogs are trained)at the house a couple days ago. The dog went crazy for the flooring right under the washer and the landlord admitted that there had been some overflow with previous tennants there over 4 years ago. We've been in the house for over a year and there hasn't been any leaking at all. The mold inspector took air samples that should be complete by Monday evening. Does anyone have experience with this variety of penicillium? I've read a bit about it, but would love to hear some personal experience. Thanks, Moneca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
