Mold?

September 19, 2001

I have made ginger ale and also pickled cucumbers and now I see mold

growing on the ginger particles near the surface and also on the

cucumbers near the top. Is this ok to eat, or how do I remedy this

situation?

Many many motels have mold problems. And when someone gets ill, even a small

amount of mold will set off an inflammatory cascade.. So I would not be so

quick to jump to conclusions on that. Has he tried sleeping outside or with

the windows open?

With regard to recovery, I think the consensus is that it varies a lot from

person to person and from situation to situation. Some people's exposure was

much worse than others, and also some people get much sicker than others in

what might seem to be similar situations.

There is one thing everyone agrees on - the important thing is to get out so

you can at least stop getting worse.

Obviously, this has a huge and devastating impact. Everyone here has lost

jobs, homes, relationships, families, savings, careers, health.
