Joe's Words of Wisdom

[Guest guest]

Words of wisdom, Joe!

BTW, I've been at meetings since Wednesday and not keeping

up. So I apologize if anybody asked anything of me or expected

me to respond. Please repeat your request to my e-mail rather

than bothering the whole group.

The person who posted the first email reference to " cross-contamination " of a

vehicle, is making the " ASSUMPTION " that his mold reaction is due to

" cross-contamination " of his vehicle, FROM mold growing in his home. In my own

personal case of mold exposure from my car, I can tell you that there was no

way, whatsoever, that I could differentiate between " cross-contamination " and " a

reservoir of mold " growing " in the car. It wasn't until a passenger, in the car

said: " what smells " , did I finally realize that my case WAS NOT a case of

cross-contamination from my home. I have a genetically-based lack of a sense of

smell. The rule of thumb is, " if it SMELLS, it's GROWING; if it doesn't smell,

it might be [just] cross-contamination. There is no way to make the source

judgement based on the intensity of sickness that you feel. Once your body has

" learned " to react to mold, mycotoxins, bacteria, pathogens, etc., you will get

> I agree with this post except that person was referring to 'cross

contamination' of vehicle, rather than a car that is moldy for it's own reasons.

For cross contamination, method described is reasonable. Different situation,

different solution. People shouldn't feel if they put something from a moldy

home in their car, the car is ruined. That might be the case for severe reactors

certainly but not the usual case. This was a question of cross contamination.

Maybe another car would be great if you can afford that. Buying a new used car,

you can just end up with someone else's mold problem that they didn't know

about. So many people are clueless about this and live in contaminated houses

themselves and don't know it.
