Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 It is the best house I have found so far though and my time is running out. I have developed bad mcs too. but I could pick up on something. I can't go on much longer where I am.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 Caron--did you move to a water damaged house??? I think it is strange that these people did not file a claim on insurance. It had to have cost more than the deductible what with totally removing the shower, redoing the shower and removing some sheet rock in the garage and installing a small access to the shower works. My realtor says all the water would have gone to the garage. I am so sonfused.

Guest guest Posted October 2, 2006 Report Posted October 2, 2006 You could actually test the dust inside the wall for trichothecenes, aflatoxins and ochratoxins.. If you like the house a lot, you might want to give it a shot.. I think that the toxins tend to stick around longer than identifiable mold colonies.. and that toxin levels increase with the age of the mold infestation.. at least that is what I think my experience with these tests indicate - to me at least...
