Re: Mold Geiger Counter-Was Re: Packing

[Guest guest]

Look, I don't need an overblown explanation of background radiation and Geiger

counters. Any adult with an average level of intelligence knows what those

concepts are. Your analogy fails, though, since measurements of amount are not

the sole way that a mold problem is determined to be occuring.

Since mold is everywhere, it doesn't make sense to call it out unless you're

talking about a mold *problem* I don't say, " Well, I'm going outside, where

there are your usual molds, " or, as you said, " Now I'm living in a house with

background molds, " anymore than I say, " Well, I'm going to go for a walk, thanks

to gravity. "

All I wanted to know was why you would live in a house with a mold problem while

telling everyone else exposed to the slightest amount of mold to leave

everything behind and run (as you said to , who had some mold on some

sheathing, which could be addressed without the more extreme and hysterical

action of running away). I suppose you've answered, in a way.

Hi AN,

Good Question. I guess that I just " invented " the term " background mold " . I

suppose I adapted the term from the words " background radiation " . Our entire

planet emanates radioactivity that we do not feel. This is scientifically called

the " Background Level " of radiation. W

Good for you, ! And, yay!!!! that there's no more mold so far. I hope they

find nothing in the end, and you have a safe place, finally, after so much

searching and work. Your story still gets to me--how brave you were and then to

find your Shangri La so fortuitously. It gives me hope! Rock on!

AN, you remember that response :-). I ignored it. Nobody else knows the details

of someone else's situation. BTW, it's coming along nicely. Every water source

has been eliminated. A lot of demolishing.
