Funny. Some people have stories about " leaving the moldy coast and

moving to the mountains " .

If a mold problem in an SUV can be a " driving force " in the illness,

it's pretty easy to see that climate makes little difference compared

to the localized " site " exposures.

I finally started to make headway against the illness when I

completely ignored the concept of trying to predict where it is based

on climate, water damage, type of materials or anything else:

" It is where it is " .

Once I learned to identify mold plumes, I simply avoided them

wherever they are - and so I didn't have to leave town or move far.

I wonder why he was advised to move to sea shore!

Seems odd to me. of this group is

proposing to move from NC shores to New Mexico

after rebuilding her home there specifically with

materials to avoid mold and not working out for

her. This would seem to be an example of what

was referring to however how would doctor have

known sea shore would be food for him, so must be

something about sea shore living doctor thought

was better for mold sufferers. Perhaps strong

breeze from offshore with no mountains to impede

them blow toxins away (but seems could blow them

in also). This advice is difficult to

understand.

, so you don't need to move 'far' to avoid a

mold plume, once you've sensed it around?

I believe him! I live in SC and I am sick all of the time here. Went

on vacation to Outer Banks, NC and was well the whole week. Started

getting sick again outside of Charlotte, SC on my way home.

This area is high on the allergy charts. The mold problem I have seen

in my area is due to problems in the houses more than enviroment. I

know there is mold everywhere but outside mold does not bother me.

Sometimes less than a few feet, as I demonstrated to Dr Marinkovich

when I vectored a spore plume that was splitting his reception room.

He tested me on this, and said the mold was right where I indicated.

, how could he test you on this? I like him.

Good doctor. Seems mystified that people come

out to see him.

Dr M was surprised because I detected mold in his office.

Said that there had indeed been a water leak and mold damage, " but

you shouldn't have found anything there because it had been

professionally remediated " .

And " I have never seen anyone do this before. We could learn a lot

from people like you " .

I showed him how I did it, by slowly walking a grid pattern and

marking where I got " hits " . Then I lined up the marks and checked

the airflow, pointed " upstream " at the wall and said " There! "

He told me that this was the area that had been remediated and

there were no signs of damage, nothing visible to give it away.

He had me check all the other rooms, and I felt nothing.

He put out plates in all the rooms, and the only one that came up

positive was directly under the area where I pointed.

So that was a pretty good confirmation of the concept.

He asked " How did you do that " and I said " It wasn't easy. I trained

myself by taking a sample of mold to the desert and doing gradual

increased proximity until I learned to detect extremely subtle

signs " .

That way I can react far quicker than waiting for an overt " slam "

because by then, it's too late.

The immune system has already been fired up.

This is the key, the man that moved from Boone to the seaside could

have just as easily moved from the seaside to Boone and gotten better.

In other words his new residence probably did not have any mold

damage where his old one probably did.

I am moving to nc so I don't have to run my airconditioner and to get

away from moldy trailers next to me that keep me from being able to

open my windows.

I hate to say this, but even Boone, NC is HOT HOT in the summer and

an AC is often needed at least for about 3 months.
