Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Aandraya - what do you think about the things in storage, I am so afraid to go back and sort out the few books and photo albums and other things - do you think it's best not to stir up any old mold infestations which are surely still there. It was such a horror for me I am 71 years old and need to continue to work and be healthy to pay my grandsons univeristy tuiton. I am thinking about calling a junk removal truck to take everything out and then not waste any more money on storage.From: Aandraya Da Silva <aandraya@...>bird mites Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 7:14 PMSubject: Re: Re: move away from the mites when nothing else works It helps because they're also in the environment because there is some mold infestation which is virtually impossible to eradicate.

Guest guest Posted August 25, 2011 Report Share Posted August 25, 2011 Doris-It's hard to say. After I moved the belongings I saved were stored away for almost a year. Once the stuff has been mold free for a period of time the bugs are all gone and I think things are safe. For me I had to get my body to healthier state. After I moved I continued to have some skin symptoms and as my treatment progressed- antibiotics, antifungal, diet, etc. I no longer had the fuzz balls in my environment- clothes, bedding, etc.AandrayaOn Aug 25, 2011, at 8:22 PM, Doris Kennedy wrote: Aandraya - what do you think about the things in storage, I am so afraid to go back and sort out the few books and photo albums and other things - do you think it's best not to stir up any old mold infestations which are surely still there.
