Wretched New Members/Re: Some Basics (Questions)

[Guest guest]

Am I the only new member feeling slammed right now? How many new members are out

there?

I am not asking about KILLING MOLD INSTEAD OF REMOVING THE SOURCE.. I was asking

about CLEAN UP when MOST PEOPLE USE ANTIFUNGALS INCLUDING MOST E-X-P-E-R-T-S.

Who the heck is the EXPERT to TRUST?

I GET IT. DONT KILL THE MOLD but at the same time as I asked.. when you have

Aspergillus Fumagatus and would that possibly be an exception to the holy rule?

And is NO KILLING of MOLD such a sacred rule that you cant use antibacterial,

antifungals (Im personally talking natural) when cleaning a BATHROOM with

GROWING MOLD? Or do you gut the bathroom?

Or AS I ASKED.. is there ANOTHER ALTERNATIVE?

GOD.. this is stressful. I feel like I walked into a war zone.

and that " removal of mold, or removal of the sufferer from the mold " is the only

effective way to stop the suffering, I WILL LOSE MY MIND (or what little of my

mind that I have left).

information, upon joining our group. I am copying this posting directly to K.C.

and Barb, who must ALSO be losing their minds, at the task of monitoring and

editing the same pointless " killing " postings, over and over again, through the

years.

members, upon their joining, ALSO include the fact that " mold killing " postings

will not be accepted, due to the " pointless " nature of such questions.

question, comes from. It's those idiotic T.V. commercials of a housewife

" dancing " around her home, spraying some " germ killer " into the air, or on her

kitchen counter, and smelling the air, afterwards, with an expression of divine

bliss on her face.

killing " info here: / , and

not in my face 50 times a month.
