Guest guest Posted January 9, 2006 Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 Hi We are moving to a house that has NO carpet and only has ceramic tiles everywhere and has plenty of windows. I have a question on contaminating materials with mold. When we moved from OR to AZ more than a year ago into a new apartment we all felt wonderful and my son started showing cognitive improvement. But unfortunately (this is my educated guess) after we got our 'stuff' from OR, we all slowly started getting the same symptoms we had in OR. To make things worse, there was a hole on the roof of this apartment that may have let some water in (and the maintenance guy suspected this hole may have been the reason why scorpions were jumping out of the vents) The scorpion problem went away after this hole was filled. I always left the fan on 'ON' position and this plus the possible water collection in the vents (per the maintenance guy) may have made things worse. But my question is is it possible that we contaminated the new 'stuff' with mold that may have been brought from OR in mattresses, furniture, clothes etc ? Since I am really in the mood to throw away 'stuff', so please give me some ideas on what I should definitely dispose so I won't contaminate the new place. Also, any ideas on how to keep the new place moldfree as much as possible. Where can I get info on this ? I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks so much Jay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
