I really believe in tested and regulated ways to remediate home hazards funded and approved by the government. Probably doesn’t work that way but I think that’s truly what my tax dollars should go to. Safe ways for hazardous remediation and research on whether a home owner can safely do remediation.

Moldy drywall and built in bookshelves were the biggest culprit. Immediately bagged and tied off and removed. Kept the door closed and the vents/ intakes sealed in then room best I could

Remediated a couple other basement locations that had questionable water leaks.

Been a monumental improvement

Mostly wearing protective PPE, removing drywall, often insulation and spraying studs with a mold killing solution which usually involves bleach and scrubbing it with a scrub brush and letting it dry out

I wake up at 3.30 am for no reason other than insomnia and I have more respect for anyone with that problem than JFK’s sleep deprivation

Yeah when you find out the entire hvac intake room to the entire dorm is a Moldville it was fuck you up

I had 2/3 of a basement room next to the basement hvac with wall to wall mold and it was like “it’s December… why can’t I breath”

Realistically mold spores exist in the environment naturally
There is no way to removal “all the mold spores”

But you need to remove the environments that enable mold to proliferate. And protect yourself in the active removal

But its not a real life Kaiju in medicine

Yes the mold needs to be removed. Yes people take advantage of overcharging for mold remediation. Yes actual mold remediation is a bitch. But its possible with proper PPE

Yes mold allergies can make you feel exhausted, chronically fatigued, chronic runny nose, sore throat, asthma issues

It’s a true issue that’s being exploited. Yes mold and fungus causes weird infections in the immunosuppressed. Regular mold can make anyone allergic feel low grade crappy.

Yes mold can trigger allergies. I was tipped off because I was still having allergy symptoms in below freezing weather.But if you actually wear PPE while doing the remediation, go to hardware store hepa filters it’s possible to remediate. Mold is mold. It can be an allergen. Black mold isn’t special

I have pretty significant mold (all of them) allergies on allergy testing. I did my own mold remediation per EPA guidelines with proper PPE on part of my basement after finding mold behind some built in bookshelves after a water damage incident

Yes the part where I haven’t worked out for 6 months due to life chaos, world chaos and work chaos when I know my anxiety and sleep is better regulated when I work out at least 2-3x a week or go for a walk and I’m melting on my sofa instead

Anyway I am going to go for a walk this evening

We had a rash of salmonella diarrhea/vomiting patients and it was just like “guess we will never know the source because we don’t have a functioning cdc” 🤷🏼‍♀️
Also everyone is way too stressed the fuck out, way above baseline

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”
