Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 As far as " green pee " goes, I can only tell you that it is not uncommon for those living with prolonged exposure to mycotoxins to develop a fluorescent like green tinge to their urine that physicians unfamiliar with mold often can find no cause for. " Mold growing out from between the bathroom tiles even though we cleaned them constantly " as you stated can reflect a more serious problem with mold and is very common. Many bathrooms are being renovated with new tiled showers. Does anyone have suggestions for those that have recently renovated that would help prevent this problem from occurring? Also, what would be the recommendations (to help prevent moisture problems and mold growth) for those that are about to renovate a bathroom?

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2006 Report Posted November 16, 2006 -heres a few links to check out. <http://www.answers.com/topic/green-fluorescent-protein> <http://www-bioc.rice.edu/Bioch//Papers/gfpbio.html> also put green fluoresant protein in search. also do search 'flouresant green fungus' trichoderma mainly comes up but i think one of them talks about some asper/pin also. now, none of this really explains why my cataracts would glow flouresant green in the dark with just a regular flashlight. i can see, because i have high amounts of protein in my urine where it could turn green from exposure to high aounts of fgfungus.maybe more so because my organs were not functioning right, ?? haven't figured it all out. i do think that it might be very interesting to have a black light took in my second home at dark. i bet it would glow everywhere. -- In , LiveSimply <quackadillian@...> wrote: > > Sort of related... > > Does anyone know if it is normal for human urine to flouresce under UV > light?

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 One of the ways to search for urine (from pets, usually, but also from humans) is to use a black light (UV). It will fluoresce a yellow- greenish color. It is the salts in the urine that glow. It is the salts that remain forever until removed, which can be very difficult to do. MANY, many other object fluoresce with a UV light. Espcially soap in bathrooms and kitchen sinks. A few molds glow under UV and some absorb the light and appear as extremely empty black areas. As with everything else, you have to establish a baseline of what glows and what doesn't, then further separate those that glow into categories and compare them with a known urine location. One excellent urine location is, of course, the bathroom. This will prove once and for all that despite what we men claim about always hitting the target when we stand to pee, we definitely do splash. Just check the wall near the toilet with a black light.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2006 Report Posted November 17, 2006 Whoever this is for, be prepared. I like to look around with a black lite especially for pet stains. Mr Grimes is correct it works very well. But be prepared when you enter a bathroom . " OH MY GOD " I am sure like said it is soap and other things but it will be a eye opener. Do it before cleaning and then clean your heart out and go back in. Still Just as wild looking... Thank god the military did not use this method instead of the white glove. I would still be on detail.. LOL Life is a balance of holding on and letting go...

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Posted November 18, 2006 Only a germicidle UV lite will sanitize an enviroment- you cannot expose your eyes or skin to this light, even for a few seconds. I know this is not what you asked, but important for people to know- a 4 foot fixture with bulbs is about $300-will kill stuff- but is not terribly effective against mold toxin, because it is very UV stable.
