question about mold test kits

[Guest guest]

I've used these twice and wonder if doing these again and sending to

the lab they have will give me an idea of what I have? Think it was

$30. Can't remember the name but got them at Lowes. Maybe Lab One.

I called S & ME an industrial hygenist in Raleigh and they told me

charge could be from $1,200 - 1,800. That is expensive.

Moldidservices is $500 but he only takes one sample inside house and

one outside. Doesn't sound like enough. He is in the American

Industrial Hygiene Association consulting listing. Says on his site

he test for microrganism also. I just would like to know what I have

esp. sinc I have a brain lesion.

S & ME is going to call me back and give me a list of mold redemiation

companies. Will call all of them and see what they use. Everyone

else I have called says KILL the mold and Carl says you have to

Remove the mold. Envirocure is the only one that says Remove with an

enzyme but I haven't got the name of the enzyme. I've got a negative

feedback about this company from one member here so my head is

spinning.

Meeting a waterproofing company at 2:00 today just to get an

estimate. They use a fungicide so I'm scared of them taking care of

the mold. Got an AC man coming also to tell me how much a new plenum

and air ducts will be. I was excited about the light that kills

molds but Carl told me don't work. S & ME also told me don't work.

This is no fun.

Several months ago I tested four rooms with the mold testing kit from Home

Depot and I sent off the worse one to be tested for $30. It showed two types of

mold but said neither one was in enough quanities to be dangerous. I believe the

fact that those two were present but that did not rule out Stachy as it does not

always settle from what told me. I also do not think that the labs know

what levels are dangerous for ME. As Carl Grimes book says, we all have

different levels of sensitivity.

for the money, it gives you somewhere to start. Carl can probably comment on

the cost the local people want to charge you.
