I bought a house after its mold proliferation was undisclosed. The atmospheric contains Aspergillus, Penicillium, and a third, as yet unidentified mold. The seller and real estate agent refuse to take responsibility for the omissions. I have been inhaling mold for six years, and two years after moving in, I was diagnosed with Autonomic Dysfunction, which disrupts all body symptoms that act automatically. I am prone to losing consciousness, have the cardiac disease Bundle Branch Block, and a spot has been found on one lung.

Mold remediation is essential for my home, but it will only be helpful if I also receive medical treatment. Although I have Medicare, Mycotoxin testing is not covered by health insurance. Treatment for Mycotoxin Toxicity is only available through an Integrative Medicine practitioner, whose work is not covered by health insurance.

Apart from getting the medical care to heal and move forward with my life, I’d like to spread awareness about mold toxicity. Please demand mold testing before buying a new home. Mold is far more difficult to remediate than to avoid. Household products, including bleach, do not disturb mold growth. Namastě.
