Possibility of mold making me sick
I have been sick for about a month now. The symptoms include dizziness, light sensitivity, fatigue, mood changes like irritibility, anxiety, and mild depression. It is affecting my life severely. When I am home, it is difficult to do anything because I feel so bad all the time. I have been to the doctor and he cannot find anything wrong with me. The other day (after i saw the doctor) we found large patches of a black mold growing behind our sink which has been leaking for a while. There was also some reddish mold in the bathroom ceiling tiles and shower. A little bit of blackish mold in the shower. Do you think that could be possibly causing me an illness? I have been living here for 6 months (renting) and got pnemonia 2 weeks after I moved in, occasional dizzy spells, and a bad sinus infection a few weeks ago. Someone with any knowledge of this, please help. This illness is ruining my life.
Answer:URGENT!!!!!
Yes you are sick from the mold. I am a mold survivor. I could list 20 symptoms if I had the time but I'm at work. Here's summary of what you NEED TO KNOW.
1- Most doctors are unwilling or unable to treat you.
2- DO NOT take antibiotics. You will get sicker.
3- If you have a compromised immune system (AIDS, PREGNANT, OLD AGE, YOUNG BABIES) IT CAN KILL YOU.
4- Get OUT of your house ASAP. DO NOT take anything porous with you. YES you have to leave everything unless you can clean it with bleach water. Many of your clothing items must be left. You MUST disinfect EVERYTHING before putting it in your new home.
