The Black Mold...

[mustangwagz]

Title says it all folks, and i got some stuff to add about it. lol WOW its bad stuff. Black mold typically grows in moist damp area's with little to no sunlight. Typically takes a minimum of a week to start growing from what i understand. well either way, i'm here to tell ya its bad. lol if you find any in your home, get it out asap and DONT BREATHE IT IN! I made this mistake when i was redoing my laundry room and pressure tank areas about 2 weeks ago? Yah...well lets just say it made me deathly sick folks. Finally starting to get my guts back into PROPER working order. It went after my bowls and kidneys. YIKES! I learned an important life lesson and lets hope someone else can learn from my mistake! THought i'd share!

We had to have guys clean mould out of our basement once. Glad I didn't have to do it myself. They were dressed like spacemen down there.
Glad you're ok

I never realized it could be so bad, but now I'll be VERY careful in the future. Thanks for the heads up Wagz and I'm glad to hear you pulled through alright.

Glad your feeling better buddy, good thing you got it out before the rest of the family became ill also.

Glad to hear you're getting better, didn't realize the stuff could be so bad. The symptoms you list sound like mushroom poisoning, which now that I think of it mushrooms are a fungus, just like mold. We can assess then, from your experience, that the spores cast off when you disturb the mold, are toxic also, therefore the effect is similar or the same as eating a poisonous mushroom or a bunch of the mold. Never thought of it that way, but I do know that mushroom poisoning can be a very bad way to go. You, sir, are a very lucky man!

Thanks guys! yah the stuff was nasty. Amazing how such a little ole stupid thing can cause such issues eh? Ugh, lesson learned! lol

I just had to take a class about Mold and how to treat it. In a nut shell, to treat it use beach/water mixtures or a spray called X14.

Dad just had to spray down walls in his garage/6x6's home. I am about to start with the basement in my new home. Thanks for the tip, glad you're okay now!

Its baaaad stuff man. i layed in bed and shook and shivered for hours man, it was horrible. Ive had food poisioning before, and this stuff beat that by far. lol now anytime i see mold i get leary about it...most molds wont hurt ya, but that black stuff will! becareful lance.

mold

I lived in a place for about a year. previous owner painted it over black mold and sold it to the new owner wich i rented day after sell. Long story short i ended mold in my lungs doctors operated cut my lungs and vacuumed out most of the mold. I still spit up black speckles of mold and light blood. PRE FACE TO CANCER is what i am told. I did take some meds before the operation bad side effects could not pee second day taking meds. doctor took me off. I take natural oregacillan herbal healer acadamy sells does the best for me. There is no cure. i talked to the cdc specialist and could make your head spin with bullcrap knowledge. So here it goes got mold RUN RUN RUN. Without proper equipment hepa filter and suits you will just spread it over everything. Sueing the home owner was not easy. The truth about bleach it will only work on wipeable surfaces glass/ on wood mold sinks into. Bunch of bull crap good luck. And get a second opinion 1st lung specialst told me i had lung cancer. Wrong wrong wrong i had no insurance and paid cash for all my bills over 20 thousand i watched leave my bank account. I was so sick could not work my biz carpet cleaning. 10 years its been and i am getting worse MOLD IS SUPER SERIOUS IF YOU GOT KIDS GET OUT NOW /THEIR LITTLE IMMUNE SYSTEM CAN NOT FIGHT THIS
