Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 Hi all: Questions, questions. Does anyone have any problems with mold. I have mold allergies and can not find any in my house but I do have in my sitting room a large plant, Can this be a problem? Has anyone had this problem.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2002 Report Share Posted March 12, 2002 I have never been diagnosed with an allergy to mold. But when it rain rather consistently Summer of 2000, I was in the Emergency Department 8 times. I finally realized it was the mold from the rain. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 I'm with you when it comes to campfires. no way am I giving them up. I used to do a sort of mask type thing as well. Then the MD put me on Nasonex. It works great. I use it almost year around. No more funny looking Granny and I get to even cook over that fire!!

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 With Rhinocort Aqua I no longer have a problem with allergies (the stuffy head and all), but the smoke from the fire itself is still an issue with my asthma so I still wear the "Bandit Mask" (that is what my girls call it) when doing a camp fire.

Guest guest Posted March 22, 2002 Report Share Posted March 22, 2002 WEll I'm with you, I'd still cook over the campfire even if I needed that mask.

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 A state of the art air purification system should help eliminate mold spores floating in the air, depending on how bad the mold is. One with ionization, make sure it has both positive and negative ionization and will do the entire house. There are units that are small enough to take with you when you travel or put in the car. If you have any questions about them email me czlp1d@yahoo Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 2, 2003 Report Share Posted July 2, 2003 there is a great site for learning about mold. go to www.mold- help.org/ If you want to read a great short book on indoor air quality get Pete Billacs " The silent Killers " It has a lot of info on how people are affected by what is in the air they breath Ed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
