Hi Gil,

The only thing that I know about mulch is what happened to my son. He

got the mulch (not intentionally) with the shooting mold spores that

he had a heck of a time removing from his house. Hopefully, your

neighbor didn't get that because the mold can shoot the spores up to

8'.

YEP, I dont think the smell ever goes away,but where it's outside, it should at

some point.

it may not be until after winter. ? or several rains.

yes, I used to love that smell.

in my second water damaged home, the salers had, for some reason lined the

bottom of my closet with cedar, sence the mold was really bad in that area and

they cut out the floor there, how cleaver to lay cedar in it's place to try to

hide the smell. now I'm very sensitive to it.

Cedar wood can be potentially dangerous. It contains fine particles that if

inhaled can cause pulmonary inflammation. It is not wise to be inhaling the

dust of cedar wood. Cedar oil is listed as a fungicide, bactericide and

insecticide.

I suggest that you do a google search of cedar wood toxicity.

Dr. Thrasher -

Thanks for your post as I am intrigued by the cedar thing. I thought that cedar

was a natural fungicide, etc., as well as a moth repellant and natural means of

keeping your clothing from getting moth holes. This applies especially to wool.

I often buy those little cedar chips and cedar hangers to avoid mothballs for my

closet.

As for my personal wardrobe, I try hard not to get stuff dry cleaned because of

the perc issues; stick to what is 100% cotton and is washable. If it is that

bad, I get rid of the clothing rather than be exposed to those chemicals.

The mulch thing makes me nervous because who knows what is " blended " for the

sake of appearance in the " industry? " So much attention is focused on " outdoor

living " in the media, that these issues are bound to surface.

Thanks.

Just because it is natural (found in wood) does not mean the cedar oil is not

toxic. If it is toxic to insects, molds and bacteria it is potentially toxic to

humans and animals. My post was regarding inhaling the dust from Cedar Wood.

The dust causes inflammation of the lungs.
