Wow. I didn't realize so many of you were doctors and mold experts! I will be the first to say I knew little about mold a year ago until I got sick from toxic mold in our basement. I have had the urine test to prove I have been poisoned by ochratoxins and trichothecenes from toxic mold. I am on a treatment plan by an M.D. in AZ who specializes in treating mycotoxicosis, as it is formally called. This is not your run of the mill allergy or inflammation. This is pure poisoning. Mycotoxins from stachybotrys and aspergillus mold are used in biological warfare. Look it up. While it's true, most people do not become gravely ill from mold, there are several of us who do. Some docs believe there is a specific gene involved, which I will be getting tested for soon. Problem is, I became sick after two mold remediations in my basement which spread the mycotoxins up into the walls of my house. Because there are no government regulations on removal of toxic mold for the general public, these people can do whatever they like and get away with it. Just know that someday it could be you getting sick like us.
