can't see forest for the trees kind of question.......

[Guest guest]

Since I have had about 2 solid years of (probable) mold exposure at

home, along with the physical symptoms, which are " consistent "

but " somewhat " better on " some days " , is it POSSIBLE....after being

exposed CONSTANTLY to the (airbourne) mold, that I could at some point

build up almost like an " immunity " toward it's effects???? And if so,

would it indicate that my immune system has SUCCESSFULLY fought off

the toxins.....and/or is it possible that the mold toxins can lay

DORMANT for a period of time until something TRIGGERS it to activate

it again.????

I also heard either here or on a yeast Group board that the yeast

(mold) is SO dominant that victims usually don't get colds and many

other infections due to the DEFENSE that the mold(yeast) puts up

in " preserving their territory " . Any comments about this and all the

above would be appreciated....been on my mind for a long tome! Thanks

a bunch!! Steve

Steve, you probably have built up strong defense to MOLD, but toxins

are accumlative and that what is getting me and others I believe.

They kind of seep into your slowly (if exposure is low as mine was)

with few side effects that anyone pays any attention to, tired, brain

fog, etc, then you get too many and you get to the point where you

cannot function any more in a big way, so yes and no. If you are

talking mold, may have enough antibodies to that, if you are talking

toxins, no if you are getting to more than your body can get rid of,

they start to accumulate and THEN I believe your defenses to the mold

will start to plummet since the toxins will start to interfere with

your immune system in a major way. I had 10 years of visible mold

exposure (garage had it on wall) where I parked (that wall was knocked

down in 1999 and solid concrete wall poured in it's place). Mold in

attic had probably started to grow by then so got rid of one and

another one was developing.
