Guest guest Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 , thanks for your story, I relate to some of the things you said. I to would fell better in the spring. for the first 2-3 weeks than the air would start getting musty smell of mold from to much rain and I'd fell worse again. Im not sure, but I have read that stachboctrys mold(and some others) does not put out spores when its wet and growing, dont know how this effects the mycotoxins being put out, but from my reaction, I'd say they subside during this rainy spring season too, until it gets going(or regrowing good) also stachboctrys mold spores usually do not pick up on mold air test because they are heavier, and if they do you can bet its hideing in high amounts somewhere. I have noticed from my home that stachboctrys doesnt like to show its self and prefers dark places like behind walls, and it turns to gray when dry and is hardier to see. right now, here, with some rains and being cloudy, its showing on the out side of my home around the roof ledge and some outer walls, its black and green and fuzzy(hairy) but a sunny day makes it almost disappear, but its still there, just waiting for the next rain. have you done tape test?, these will pick up stachyboctrys were sometimes air test wont. this was not the only mold i was exposed to , but I just wanted to post this. I learned a lot from mold-help.org by reading about the different types of molds and theri effects and illnesses, listed on the left hand side(i think its under mold types and illnesses) cant remember off hand. I took a list from air test and tape sample reports and looked each one up. hang in there, so sorry you are going through this. if you have time theres been some good info. posted here the last week which may help. --- In , " " <gokingmessiah@...> wrote: > > They are trying to pass the Melania Bill > http://www.house.gov/conyers/mold.htm > > IS anyone willing to write their congressman to ask them to suport > this bill? > > > My Story > > I purchased my home from HUD with a settlement from a Job Injury in > 1993.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2006 Report Share Posted March 25, 2006 I know how you feel but that's exactly what they are counting on. You have to understand that the people behind this cover up will pull every dirty trick imaginable to get out of accountability. We have to keep the pressure on them till they crack.
