If it is 105 outside in the summer, Barb, I think I would want some ac. However

there are portable ac units which could be plugged in.

that's just me. From what I have seen, they seem to be little mold

incubators. Better to have fans, maybe a dehumidifier.

Actually I mean only window a/c or those through

the wall a/c units, not central a/c. I have

central a/c and the pan under the coils is always

dry and also there is a good filter on unit. The

window a/c as Jeff May pointed out don't have

adequate filters so it's just air with bacteria

and mold landing in a wet a/c box and producing a

bacterial and moldy sludge.

I've heard about the portable a/c's. Maybe that

would work. I guess empty the water out like a

dehumidifier?? The key seems to be a good filter

for air and also the pan underneath coils should

drain out as fast as water is taken out of the

air, not stand around in unit.

If you can get that in window unit or through

wall unit, they would probably be okay but I

don't know if they come with those things. They

shouldn't be allowed to be sold I don't think.

Probably responsible for alot of illness.

I have just never seen these window A/Cs with these boxes that everyone talks

about. Is that really how they are?? Every one I've ever had or ever seen in

New York (which is many, because that's all people have here!) just drips the

water outside to the ground. In the summer when it's hot it's basically like

little showers coming down from all the buildings.

Can you get HEPA filters for window A/Cs? Someone mentioned it to me but I

can't seem to find them anywhere.

They just look like boxes handing out of windows

or sometimes they protrud out of wall. They

don't have any significant filter so air that has

bacteria and mold in it go through and land in a

little pond of water inside. Many of them seem to

don't drain water out adequately. I am in a hotel

right now and very clean but I asked them to

clean a/c and they pulled it out and it had

blackish standing water in it, about an inch

deep, a sludge. Filter is inadequate, like a

dryer filter, just a screen that catches lint.

They are a breeding ground for mold and bacteria.

Team them up with carpeting that you can't wash

and you've got a moldy apartment. I can't find

an apartment without one, so I'm hoping to find

hardwood floor so I can at least keep floor clean

of anything blown out of a/c, or better yet use

dehumidifier as much as I can rather than a/c and

a fan. I'm looking for a short lease though so

hopefully won't be there next summer. I hope I

can move home after remediation.

Also as you say they drip water outside, and

where I am they all have created a little swamp

land on the ground below I noticed. So, they are

causing trouble inside and outside of building.

If they weren't keeping this mold business a

secret, they would ban them I believe.

barb--so many houses are vacant that I see on line. This is Texas. I wonder

about mold issues. Leigh

I have an appointment with Rae October 30th. He

is proposing to make an antidote to medicine I

was on that increased my symptoms. I'm

interested to try it but I have to be there for

them to develope it, so coming down then. My

cousin who lives in Mesquite told me to let her

know when I was coming and stay with her but I am

tempted to stay at Marriott again because I'm so

afraid of mold.

Would you stay in a regular room or his rooms???

I have had antigens compounded.

I believe they make them up on Tuesdays or Wednesdays.

The process then takes about a week. (as my humble mind recalls).

Why don't you call and ask for the lab where they draw your blood and ask if

you could send the drug in advance with payment (around 100.00) and it would cut

down on the time you have to be here? I don't see why you would have to be here

just to drop the drug off and then sit for a week while the antigen is being

formulated????

I probably would stay in regular room since I

found the clean room beds very uncomfortable. I

could ask if they would start the process without

me but I will do more skin testing. I didn't

finish the process.

It goes on and on, hey?

The beds in clean room have those flat springs

and not much support. I meant to try those

futons. They might provide a firmer support. I

hate a bed that sags in the middle. My muscles

don't relax. I should have tried to futon. I

could book one night in them to try sleeping on

them but I doubt I will be coming down much after

this next trip.
