Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Hi Steve, I, like you, used to believe that cleaning mold with bleach would solve the problem. I even tried primer and painting after the bleach cleaning process. I have been ill for over two years and have seen at least ten physicians (including specialists) that ALL agree I am ill. Yet it was a mystery to everyone including myself why my health was not improving and in fact continued to deteriorate. Well, after the bleach cleaning and painting, the mold just continued to come back and even spread to other rooms within our rental home. That is when I began my research. We had our home tested and the cause of illness became very clear. Only upon leaving our home and our belongings has my health began to improve. It has been eight months and I am still not completely well. For you to even suggest that families are leaving their homes with nothing but the clothes on their backs to live in one room in a motel,(or sometimes worse) is LUDICROUS. Do you know what it's like to wash dishes in a motel bathroom sink. Or to cook your families meals with a microwave and an electric grill. Do you have children? Try explaining that you are so sick you cannot attend their school functions or sports games that you had never missed before. Or answer the question " Mommy why are you still sick? Are you going to die? Mommy I'm worried you're going to die and I don't want you to. " Can you imagine telling your child that every one of their favorite toys, books and clothes have to be thrown away? My children had items that were bought for them by their great grandparents that are now deceased. There is NO AMOUNT OF MONEY WORTH ALL OF THIS! I would be ecstatically happy to give any amount of money to have my life back. Everything I have worked hard for in the last 20 years has been ripped away from me. All in a two year living hell! Maybe you should not judge others until you have walked a mile in their shoes. If you are interested in researching MOLD illness and printing an article with educated information, I would be more than happy to enlighten you.
