Re: Mold and sense of smell ETC

[Guest guest]

Can docs test for zinc deficiency? Last couple years my nails look

unhealthy and they used to be very healthy. I know they got this way

from mycotoxins. Anybody else have nails that use to look good and

now don't? I get the zinc in multi vitamin but wonder about adding

more. I've read too much zinc causes a copper deficiency.

My smell is messed up too and strangely where I can't really smell

some things, other things like perfumes ETC. kill my nose and burn my

eyes. Guess that would be MCS.

I have put a mold test petri dish on my desk just to see what grows

here. I put another at home to see what grows now. Before

remediation, the petri dish was FULL of black, white, green orange

and brown. I wish I'd sent off to that lab just to see what they

said. If the work or home grows any this time, might send off.

Now my stomach is burning along with intestines. We have had a major

front come thru and in 80's today and then going back to 50's. NC

has crazy weather and it's dry here. All combined is messing me up.

I received my Allerair air purifier and it's heavy but has casters to

roll around. It has 3 setings and I'm leaving on low b/c on 2 sounds

loud like a wind storm. Very odd sounding with an uneven air sound.

Hepa filter can last 5 years and I liked that part of it and carbon

filter 1-2 years, prefilter 2-3 months and can be washed. I have to

wonder if all three of my air purifiers will help me b/c I react to

so much with weather extremely. Didn't use to back in the good ole

days....

No word from my brain dead boss on OSHA coming here to test. He will

forget I'm sure and he also told me he has mold at his home. He has

NO memory and getting worse everyday. He's being poisoned from mold

and doesn't even get it. His mother supposedly had alzheimers but

she probably was poisoned from mycotoxins and he is too. He should

listen to me but never will. House is over 100 yro so that says

enough.

Darn, I thought iron pans were OK. I have three. I need some good

pans but way broke here and will have to figure out how to pay my doc

deductible is $350 then I have to pay 20%. I need to visit the dentis

also and haven't been in 2 years. I wish I could win the lottery!!

Oh, my sister now went to a doc and got her snout cultured and was

telling her doc about me and the fungus among us stuff. She has mold

at her rental house! has had some symptoms also that docs can't

figure out. She did say snout cultures HURT. She wants to know the

doc I'm going to but I really don't want her going to the same doc as

me. She has also had snout surgery and they messed her up bad. I

have broke my snout in a car wreck and had a rhinoplasty way back.

Hi Rhonda,

Yes, zinc can be measured in blood (plasma I think).
