Re: When to use an antifungal

[Guest guest]

Better safe than sorry, and using an anti-fungal shampoo or cream won't hurt

him.  get one of those cones to go around his head so he dosn't lick it off and

make sure the shampoo sits at least 3 to 4 mins before rinsing off.

Im getting mixed answers about using antifungal shampoo on dogs.. Im

thinking this choice is less an issue since you are washing away the dead

spores, fragments..

Then there is the issue of fungal infection of the skin.. animals and people..

you have to treat, dont you.. with shampoo, cream?

Thank you...

For pets: found a soft plastic collars to prevent licking. It isn't rigid. I

don't remember where I got it now but it's handy if you put something on their

coat, not to lick off right away. It kind of looks like a bib that goes all the

way around. Here some similar types. I actually put it on the other way, but

and it works pointing away from fact too

Thanks you two.. promise the questions will die down eventually..

Do you all think that some burning skin symptoms could actually be fungus

infection of the skin?

Do you know how to self diagnose a fungal skin infection? ive read of using UV

lights but am not sure those are available to the public.. then..

I am wondering if there are certain color lights that kill fungus.. like blue

light kills strep or staph infections.. ( mentioned using colored light in

another post I need to dig up.. cant remember what for though).

Thanks again!

Robin, germicidal UV lights should never be used on the skin and should not let

your eyes be exposed to them for even a little while. I used them for 6 months

in my trials of de-contaminating object. I did not find them effective, and they

really destroy things

I and many people I know experience burning skin from mold growth. It may be the

toxin, as in super strength, it does burn most peoples skin. Clothes and objects

exposed to mold burn my skin, and the back of my throat, and my eyes.

Thanks, .. my parents tested their cars and they have high levels of mold

spores (air sampling). I am not sure if this is not just outside are circulating

in car..?? But they were advised to use UV lights to kill the mold.. which I

know will leave fragments and toxins, antigens... sheesh.. this is complicated.

Im not sure how air circulates in a car and how to clean a spore-y car and if

possible.. there was no A/P as was in the house.. I think many of these spores

are outdoor spores.

Robin out of curiosity how much has this affected your parents? It seems like

they would be extremely ill when you consider their age, hopefully that's not

the case.

Wel, seemingly A/P is a generic term aand can mean close to anything. So we dont

know exactly what they were exposed to.

My mother had recurrent bouts of pneumonia and still have issues. My father

sounds terrible and has breathing issues that he thinks is due to BP med.. that

he keeps changing and it comes back.. so not sure there.. his kidney labs just

came back in serious ramge with a GFR rate of 33.. very low.. ??

They live in constant pain and have for years so hard to judge there. They tend

to generalize their symptoms while we ar sensitive to each one.. they tend to

lump them all together.

Tug,

remember that not every one is affected the same by mold, we have one

very sick person out of a family of 4, our dog is fine too.......sue v.

Hi Robin,

The exact same exposure to mold in a car, happened to MY father, for a period of

2 years. He had all the symptoms that your parents have. It killed him on

October 11, 2008. I would be willing to speak, on the phone, directly with your

parents. They will never believe your warnings, as you are their child, as MY

father never believed MY warnings, for the same reason. Email me, for my phone

number, for you, or them, to phone me. I can mail, or email, a copy of my

father's death certificate, to you, or to them. God Bless. Joe

oh my.. I am so sorry, Joe. Was mold growing in your fathers car?

I dont know what to think of the mold. Its not growing in the cars. Both have

high levels. They just did exterior repair work on their house and I am thinking

it was exterior air registering high levels from the disturbance of earth and

plant material.. ?? It just doesnt make sense otherwise.. also the car door had

to be opened to measure the air and its such a concentrated space.. the tape

sample showed nothing. It jut doesnt make sense becasue there is no wate damage

and if it was from their WDB/house.. the high counts were of the mysterious A/P

label and this did not register in the car.

They decided to UV light the cars and have them cleaned well. At this point I

dont know what is right anymore and am steppiing out of the way.

I got them to remediate, though not with the folks I wish they had chosen and

its been long rocky road. I hope they've clened thigns up enough to start

healing. If they dont.. its out of my control.

They are considering replacing their furniture but are not planning to move out.

My mother is better. My father is the one who worries me. Im betting my HLA type

comes from him. If there is no improvement in teh near future, I think they

understand it might be best to get out of the house and see how that feels.

Thank you so much for offering.

Dont I know it Sue, as I stated earlier the previous owner of our house had mold

growing in the a/c coils and lived here for 10 years with her 2 dogs and to my

knowledge she never had a problem. I've lived her for 4 months and can no longer

go in the basement because I get so light headed

May I suggest that you conduct this scientific experiment. Wait until it's a

rainy day. After the rain stops, and the outside of the car is completely dry,

open up the car door, and take the palm of your hand, and press down on the

floor carpeting in the front and back of the car. If the carpeting is sopping

wet, then there is mold growing in the car. You don't have to see the mold, or

test for the presence of mold. The water, and the carpet, and the heat of the

inside of your car [from sunlight] have produced a killer crop of mold. What has

happened to your car[and what happened to my father's car]is that the rainwater

has pooled between the carpeting and the metal floor underneath the carpeting.

The carpeting has acted as a " wick " , soaking up a steady supply of water, from

the reservoir of water, below the carpeting, and has provided a constantly wet

growth medium for mold. If you have made sure that you have not stepped inside

the car wearing wet shoes, you have discovered that there is an opening [not

visible] in the metal or rubber of the car, [caused by either rust or poor

construction of the car], through which rain has been getting inside the car

every time it rains. Your car has become the perfect mold farm, producing a new

crop of mold from every rainstorm.
