Most people don't think much about mold, for example, but it's a very dangerous thing. They're shutting schools down here (in central Texas) left and right for " mold abatement " . The house insurance premiums have gone through the roof in Texas because of all the mold that the companies are having to get rid of now. Some companies (State Farm, Allstate, etc.) won't even write new policies on houses right now, because of the whole mold issue. Nobody paid any attention to it until kids started getting sick....now, at least, people know how serious mold can be. I'm sure that mold allergies/chemical exposures either lead to my problems, or caused them in the first place. I also had a major chemical exposure (formaldehyde) from a new carpet in our bedroom, as well as exposure to a supposedly natural flea bomb (pyrethrins are NOT natural), amongst other things. Doctors *for sure* don't go for the environmental stuff, and you'll go blue in the face trying to talk to them about it. I don't even mention it anymore..... If you're in a moldy house or apartment, where you can actually see it, it's *dangerous*...you need to go somewhere else. I know that sounds drastic, but mold can actually kill.
