Also Leigh, I would run one similar culture plate

at home when you return home so you can compare

results on same day or nearly same day. You

wouldn't want to move into a home that didn't

test any better than where you are living now.

we spent the night there. i thoughr i smelled cleaners and it turned out to be

tydebowls in 3 toilets. my spouse itched all over but the house has been vacant

for 45 days. i noticed something growing on the bathroom wallpaper behind the

toilet abd near the sink. and in two of the baths there was something on the

vents. also evidence of a leak where the refrigerator was on the hardwoods.
