    This woman has obviously never been exposed to mold or she wouldn’t say it’s not dangerous. Type of mold, length of exposure and mold symptoms you can google are more accurate.

    Black mold is the "gluten" of home ownership. Might affect people with an allergy, but it's basically harmless.

    Twice I've been exposed to black mold. 1st time for maybe a couple of weeks. I was feeling bad with weight loss. 2nd time, for about 2 months before I realized. I felt brain fog and depressed. I couldn't keep a normal schedule. Respiratory issues, then to top it off I caught pneumonia. I felt like I wanted to die. Thank GOD for doctors but they are making it seem like black mold had nothing to do with it. Black mold had everything to do with it. Especially with respiratory and suppression of my immune system.

    The water damage makes sense to me now that I see where the moulds have grown.

    I have been experiencing dizziness since February 9, 2023. Doctors can't figure out what the problem is. However, I did go to an allergist lady and the tests said I have an allergy to mold. I just took some pictures of one of the vents, and I see this dark brown furry looking material around it. This may be the problem, but my family doesn't believe me. It's either that or the computers I work on. Blue light glasses didn't work. I'm wearing them now.

    Great and quick summary - worth watching. Interesting comment about the relative humidity setting recommendations. The 40-45% RH for mould could be a touch too dry since some more recent COVID related research suggests maintaining indoor relative humidity at ~50%RH. That way you get the reduction in humidity impact against mould and also against the coronavirus.

    I currently am dealing with a mold problem in the house. I’ve noticed memory issues, anxiety has been up, sneezing, congestion, runny nose, mucus, similar to allergy symptoms or a cold but over the counter medication doesn’t help.

    I recently was exposed to black mold. I worked for a company who received shipping equipment and merchandise from South Korea. I been sick since November 2023 my first episode of this black mold. My symptoms are; headaches like brain freeze, coughing up blood, sneezing out blood with sinus drainage. Itchy throat, ears and depression. I saw my PC doctor who prescribed antibiotics and steroids. That works for small amounts of time. Just until the drugs leave my system. Two construction sites in Tennessee and Kentucky are in extreme danger of exposure. I still think this is a health concern. I suffer with kidney disease and 3x heart attack survivor. I also have diabetes neuropathy. The company didn't inform employees of this mold takeover until employees took sick in Kentucky. From November of 2023 until March of 2024 when they laid me off. When I started complaining about my health conditions. In 2020 I had COVID and was admitted in the hospital with pneumonia and it damaged my left lung. I'm still experiencing side effects from the exposure. What can I do now? Thanks, Tipton
