Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Jeanine, what was funny about doing testing on rainy day? Maybe the fusarium exposure is from work or something. I don't notice feeling ill at work but...? Maybe fusarium is hard to catch in mold plates also. However I did have professional testor here but it was in the dead of winter and humidity in my house was a desert like 28%. --- who <jeaninem660@...> wrote: > sorry to hear that, and yes it goes to show > that testing has it > limits. like my first home where stachy was > found with tape and swab > test Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Barb, laughing as in, 'we knew from tape tests that stachy was there so we waited 6 months to do air test when it was spring and rainy and stachy would be growing and not putting out spores.as opposed to doing it when its dry and windy and stachy spores can become airborne,and you didn't know enough about it and unlocked the door for us, trusting that we were your insurance company and really was so conserned about your health, when in fact we could care about nothing but keeping that money in our pockets and had no plan of helping you but instead stick you with a report that is not even close to what you were actually exposed to. > > > sorry to hear that, and yes it goes to show > > that testing has it > > limits. like my first home where stachy was > > found with tape and swab > > test > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 Jeanine, I didn't know that rainy weather wasn't good to test in. If you are looking for mold that is inside of house as opposed to outside in rain, why would dry and windy outside matter? --- who <jeaninem660@...> wrote: > Barb, laughing as in, 'we knew from tape tests > that stachy was there > so we waited 6 months to do air test when it > was spring and rainy and > stachy would be growing and not putting out > spores.as opposed to doing > it when its dry and windy and stachy spores can > become airborne,and you > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 29, 2006 Report Share Posted August 29, 2006 -in the case of my first home mold is from a new roof that was not done properly,leaks around dormers, chimneys and with steep roof some ran straight down to outside bareing walls and inside thoses walls.mold growing in walls behind plaster. rainy-moisture for mold to grow. dry- airborne and windy-stirred it up so it entered into the rooms mainly through openings to inside walls from several sets of pocket doors in victorian home. the way these were built the inside of walls are pretty open throughout except for a few fire walls here and there. allows air flow. noticed how windy days caused worse symptoms right before I moved out. -- In , bbw <barb1283@...> wrote: > > Jeanine, I didn't know that rainy weather wasn't > good to test in.
