Re: Getting a 'Hit' or getting 'Slammed'?

[Guest guest]

For me it is like a kick in the stomache. First my ear burns on the outside

then my chest tightens up......

All I can tell you that the mold in that hotel made me feel so cold that it took

24 hours tp warm up and it is 103 in Dallas.

Is it a sudden feeling of weakness, or dramatic sudden increase in

fatigue, where you need to lie down right away??????

My friends and I use " hit " to describe a noticeable " presence " - as a

warning of mold contamination. I.E. " I'm not too sure about this

restaurant. I'm feeling a few hits of burning sensation, heart

palpitations, shortness of breath, and impending signs of brainfog " .

And then " slammed " is from failure to heed the " hits " , as in

" Dang it. I wish we had just abandoned the food in that restaurant

instead of trying to stay and eat. I slept horribly, my lungs ache had

night sweats, my sinuses hurt and a bloody nose, itched all over and

I'm so tired I can hardly stand up. I'll never eat there again and if

I feel those " mold hits " anywhere, I'm going to run for my life next

time " .

I see. I get these episodes of have to lie down

right away, even not even done anything yet and

even if I am sitting at the time, and it goes in

episodes of unknown origin; brain fog accompanys

it. I've been having trouble since summer hit,

even though buildings and my home are air

conditioned.

I have lately felt nauseated and not had an

appetite, like stomach flu, but think it is the

high mold count we have here now rather than a

mycotoxin thing, although, one probably comes

with the other.

I went out on errand thinking some fresh air

would make me feel better but felt sick to my

stomach when I got home. We are having a high

mold count here now and even though I usually

feel better outside than in, now it appears to be

the reverse. I don't remember feeling this way

last summer. Hopefully I'm not getting more

sensitive.

That's exactly the feeling I get and then the blinding headache which lasts

for hours. The headache is so severe it feels like I have a huge screw in the

top of my head. I can't do anything but go to bed with ice packs, take lots

of darvocet and wait for it to go away.

I came up with the term " mold hits " to indicate the initial

perception of the presence of mold.

Dr Shoemaker uses " mold slam " to describe the aftermath.

When I vectored the spore plume in Dr M's office, I was marking " mold

hits " in a grid pattern until I had enough to make a line - which

pointed directly at the colony.
