Hi,

I'm sorry you're going through this too. I had the same problem. You need to

have a professional toxic mold test done by a Industrial Hygenist. You can look

for air testing companies online. It's possible if the mold spores have been

released in your air, and the amounts are high enough, that all of your personal

belongings, including furniture can be contaminated.

Do you know where the source of the mold is?? Can you see it on the surface of

a wall or ceiling?

Careful.. NEVER NEVER open the wall or ceiling yourself, where there is mold!!

Don't attempt to do this yourself. There are protective measures you need to

take, and only a professional remediator would know this. You can release

billions of toxic mold spores in the air space of your apartment and damage

forever all your personal belongings.

You need to find out exactly what types of mold spores are there,and if the

mold spores are the type that carry mycotoxins. Only a professional air testing

company can do this. Careful, there are allot of fly-by-night companies out

there.

Take the results of your test and go to your landlord.

Hope this helps.

I did an undersink clean up with living tree for spring cleaning bingo live mold

serious doses so there must be lots of spores quietly sleeping here. So I want

to do

everything I can to wipe them out and not poison myself in the process.

Any tips on my plan would be appreciated.

-or you can do your own testing if you can see the mold and want to

see what kinds you have by useing clear 1 or 2 inch tape and sticking

it to mold, get a little of each color, put it in ziplock bag. for

around $50.00 a lab can test it for you. many of these mold testing

companys will send it for you, should be one in your area. heres a

list of molds, click on them for more info.
