Black mold, nasty stuff.

A friend of mine had a son that was very sickly (medical problems his whole life of 8 years), but he ended up dying from the effects of black mold that was in a NEW home that my friend had built. My friend proved in court that it was the fault of the contractor and ended up suing for millions .. he would much rather have his son back with him..

Karen - did you put down a security deposit ?

No...there was just a verbal agreement on what she wanted per month for rent. Nothing on paper.

I work as an allergy nurse and I see people on a daily basis with the same symptoms you are having. When someone has mold in their home we will often suggest they have their home tested for mold to see exactly what type of mold is in the home. You hear a lot about the "black mold" that causes so many health problems. The company we use to test for mold says it's pretty rare to have this mold in your home, other molds are very common. The most common mold in the home is alternaria, cladosporium, aspergillus and helminthosporium just to name a few. Get things checked out. All that mold isn't good for you.

These are the things we're experiencing in this house. Joel was fine health wise until he moved here...now he's on cholesterol meds and blood pressure meds and a lot of the symptoms below are me right now. Our daughter has just recently (like in the last month or two) been diagnosed as having Petit Mal Seizures (a type of epilepsy) and has also been diagnosed with learning disabilities about two years ago. It scares me...

I'm so sorry to hear this! It is scary. All of these symptoms I never dreamed could be caused by mold. The pediatricians and my doctors wouldn't consider mold as a problem. My child was just diagnosed 2 weeks ago with a learning disability and my husband who has been here for 5 months has a lot of these symptoms too.

I kept telling myself I was overreacting to blame these things on the mold. Now I'm angry that we have all wasted so much time and money not feeling well and it's because of this house.
