Guest guest Posted September 24, 2010 Report Share Posted September 24, 2010 Hi all, im hoping someone can help. I found that i had a mouldy mattress and threw it out. However afterwards i would get symptoms from being in that room for even just a few minutes. I then ran the air purifier in there for 3 days straight before sleeping inthere again. That seems to have helped however now i seem to be reacting once again. There has been rain here over the last few days and that seems to have flared things up in the room again? Would it be enough to run a dehumidifier in that room when humidity is high as i dont seem to react in any other room. The problem seems confined to one room? Im limited in what we can do as we are renting. I believe this mold may be the cause for my worsening health over the last few years. I now have mcs, ibs, leaky gut and numerous food intolerances. When sleeping in that room my ears block up, i sometimes cough, and i get swollen glands. I usually feel tired in the morning. Blood tests showed chronic inflammation, hidden infection, mild chronic neutropenia, low wbc etc etc my health continues to slide downhill and i need to be able to do the right thing and quickly. The mold may be concentrated in the carpet as there are no vents in the room for the problem to be coming from the ceiling? Perhaps vaccuming once a week with hepa vac and running purifyer and dehumdifier would control the problem since as i understand it mold cant be killed off? Also if anyone can point me to a good book on this subject so i could educate myself better i would really appreciate it. There seems to be a lot of conflicting advice out there and im a little lost and would love a book recommendation. Ive heard mold warriors is quite good?
