Guest guest Posted November 26, 2006 Report Share Posted November 26, 2006 Jane, The cause of your difficulties is more complex than the mere presence of a source in the house. You have to be exposed. Which means the contents of the manure in the bags have to travel from where it is to where you are. Or, you have to go to it. Left undisturbed, you probably weren't exposed. If it stayed dry there probably wasn't growth. Bacteria and may other components are as much of a concern as mold. There are many variables here including what else is in the house and which ones you are susceptible to and which ones you are not. Plus combinations. I have more questions so e-mail me privately.
