9 Signs You Have Toxic Mold In Your Home
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- Is mold inside your home bad for your health? Mold growing on fruit and bread is easy to see, but mold growing in your home isn’t obvious at all. If you’re feeling unwell and showing a variety of symptoms you can’t explain, it’s worth learning whether mold could be causing your bad health. It wouldn’t be a surprise since a hidden mold problem is common in many homes.
If you’re unsure whether there’s mold in your home, think about whether you usually feel better at work or when you’re out doing chores. That can be a tell-tale sign that your home is secretly an unsafe environment. Mold can wreck your health, so be wary, folks.

SUMMARY:
- As mold grows, it releases microbial volatile organic compounds, which are known to smell particularly rank. Sniff around your home. If you catch a musty whiff, follow the smelly trail.
- A report conducted in 2004 by the Institute of Medicine found that mold can be directly responsible for problems with the upper respiratory tract, and it can be the reason for chronic coughing.
- Exposure to mycotoxins from black mold can also affect your muscles and joints. Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS) is a condition that can be caused by mold.
- Mold can have many different appearances. It can be spots on a wall, discoloration, dark rings, and stains. The spots aren’t always black; they can also be green, orange, brown, and white.
- Mold tends to cause symptoms similar to seasonal allergies. As people attribute their sickness to allergies, mold can continue to spread in their home.
- A study conducted in 2011 and published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma, & Immunology journal found that when a one-year-old child is exposed to mold in their home, there is an increased chance of them having asthma by the time they are 7 years old.
- Mold doesn’t just affect your sinuses. People with mold allergies can experience skin that is red and itchy all the time. Some of the strongest allergic reactions can include rashes and hives.
- Maybe a simple thing like remembering where you left your keys or giving all your concentration to one task seems impossible lately. To a certain extent, mold can make you mentally fatigued, disoriented, and forgetful.
- If your eyes are lovely but nowadays always look bloodshot, mold could be causing their irritation. When pores are floating around in your home, they find a direct entry into your body through your eyes.
- You can take a simple urine test to reveal whether there are mycotoxins in your system. If there are, a doctor can guide you through the recovery process.
- Schedule a test with a mold testing company. They’ll be able to inspect your entire home and reach places you can’t get to.

Hey guys! How strong is your concentration power?
If the problem isn't the mold, try these exercises ua-cam.com/video/mHdy1xS59xA/v-deo.html
BRIGHT SIDE can you do a how-to treat mold naturally (sensitive to chemicals) vlog please thank you
BRIGHT SIDE plzz make a video .....how to fix it
It is nice ☺☺☺☺👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
BRIGHT SIDE I'm on blood pressure meds that causes coughing.so never know if its mold or the meds.
Very poor.

Hidden pipe leaks in the walls unexplained headaches hard to breath you feel depressed and when you leave you feel ok
Sounds like me , I can't even get out of bed .
Yoooo that's real af here
(breathe)
Omg, that's me..
Yesssss!!!! Exactly
When you cough up phlegm in a Kleenex, put the kleenex in a plastic Ziploc bag, put the bag in a dark place for 72 hours. If the phlegm is black or green, your house is infested with mold. Put out an empty orange juice bottle, don't rinse it clean, if mold grows in it within 72 hours, there's a lot of mold in your house. It's almost the same as one of those mold test kits you buy at the store. Check for water damage or dampness in your basement and attic. Ear infections, fungus toenail are signs of mold. So is fatigue and anxiety.
Mold grows on nearly everything with moisture. If you leave one of those mold dishes outside - it will be filled with mold.
Thank you for the comment 👍
Phlegm is a little green with the glad bag and the 3 days of shade charade sent out of town with the phlegm parade juss sayin professor ,🦠🌑
Most doctors aren’t going to diagnose that you might be allergic to mold because many people believe mold isn’t something that can cause issues or even grow in your house. This is always annoying.
Maybe not most doctors (primary care physicians won’t) but allergists will by doing a simple skin test. My son was diagnosed with several allergies (mold was one) & he was around 8. You usually have to be referred to see allergists however.
Super annoying! You are right! I’ve been dealing with stuff since 2008 and not realizing that it was mold. I’m waking up to it now I’m trying to get rid of as much as I can
You could if you can afford to see a Chinese medicine doctor! I’m going to try one now after alerting my family to a mold issue
Naturopaths can help
that’s not true at all.
everyone knows mold can grow in a house and cause problems.
are you talking to people from earth
It's a huge problem that most people don't realize, thank u for putting this out there and spreading awareness!
Agreed
Yes
I think docs know but don't tell u. Thu love it when u keep coming back sick
I'm going through this now, it took years to figure out. And it has been a nightmare! This video is extremely accurate and serious.
Bjb Properties leaking roof
I have all these symptoms and I can't get the doctor to do any tests! We have black mold from a basement that once flooded often.
@@lw6083 PLEASE find a new doctor!!! He or she evidently don't care!!! I'm most likely going to be affected by the mold for the rest of my life! But once I had it removed my dogs eyes cleared up and he stopped having all this goop build up within a week of having the mold removed. My migraines went from weekly to monthly. And I feel alot better. I also bought a dehumidifier because the mold guy recommended it, because without moisture mold can't thrive. That without a doubt has helped because sometimes i removed several gallons of moisture within a 24 hour period. I also have a digital humidity gage which helps me keep the humidity at around 40. Please find another doctor, yours clearly only cares if it benefits him or her in some way. Mold is no joke!
@@edwardthayer9386 I'm sorry that happened to you😔Do you know what species of mold it was? I did just today put a dehumidifier downstairs. And yes I agree I will be looking around for another doctor!
@@edwardthayer9386 what kind of doctor should one see?
we do have toxic mold in my house and my dad refuses to do anything about it. he’s the reason we’re living in forced poverty, i can’t wait to just get up and out of my house when i graduate.
Given Warner
Use Hydrogen Peroxide in a spray bottle on the moldy areas This is what the CDC uses in disaster areas
Given Warner you can actually separate yourself from your parents through the process of emancipation. If you give liable and reasonable evidence that you and your environment aren’t safe, they can emancipate you from your home and put you in foster care or something like that.
Skrilly TM i turn 18 in february, im transferring my classes to online and moving in with family in orlando but i’m coming all the way from ohio
Haha your dad is just like mine
Ann Chelsea and he doesn’t support me on this channel either and never wants to be in my videos like i try to have a good relationship with him but he’s the one pushing me away.
Also keep an eye on your pets. If they start coming down with health problems. One of my friends, dog and cats started showing symptoms of depression, respitory and nausea and dizziness. Their vet asked them about whether they're indoor and/or outdoor. The animals prefer outdoors ( even in winter). The vet stated that they need to check the house completely. Sure enough mold
I lived in a home infested with black mold while living in poverty for 7 years. It almost killed me and my entire family. Luckily we finally got out and we’ve been living in a nice, mold-free house for 2 years. I developed PTSD some time after moving out of that house and began having nightmares of having to move back into it. I also panic extremely badly if I see a small amount of mold on the wall.
I had an apartment in chicago & I swear it was behind the walls. No amount of bleach could stop it. I swear I was traumatized after living there a year too.
I lived in a house that had black mold in a closet and I opened the door one day to look at it because I didn’t believe my family and some of it fell on my face I became extremely sick and seriously ill and I was traumatized by it as well
@@jacobgreer1512 are you okay?
I understand. Was working at a place with black mold for years. Took me awhile to figure that out. Figured I would get better. Nope. Found out where I was living had Mold as well. Moved into another apartment in same complex like 3 months ago. Thought I was free. I'm sicker now then ever. Discovered mold is coming through my AC. I feel like I'm going crazy. I've had a Sinus Infection for over 6 weeks, everyone IK thinks I'm crazy. Without a doubt I know it's Mold. I'm at the breaking point. It has destroyed my body. I'm 5'11" & weigh 101lbs with clothes on. My hair texture has changed, can't focus on anything, constantly Fatigued, migraines, etc .......
I'm so at my breaking point. Don't even know what to do.
You poor thing ♥️♥️♥️♥️ I am so sorry that happened to you.
I understand panic all too well.
I hope you’re okay.
Just curious: how many people have most of these symptoms? thumbs up if you do.
I am now seriously considering moving out of my apartment! I've been getting worse and worse as time goes by
And swollen eyelids allergies, and now I’m fittting if I shut my eyes like I shake fast for 2 seconds!
I had these, ended up in the hospital 8 times in 2016. I moved out and am getting detoxed for micotoxins by an infectious disease specialist
voodoo blacksharbour please leave. My friend died from mold intoxication
I have allergies and i have no mold
Stopped working and was staying at home for 9 months when I developed vertigo, brain fog, muscle cramps, twitches, muscle weakness, coughing, anxiety, insomnia. Then I found out we have got mould. When away I feel better. Weird.
You just discribed all my symptoms.found mold in my dishwasher.
Had all these when I lived in my old apartment..
When I moved out after 2 weeks felt great
Same. When I’m not inside the house, I feel much better
my teacher is making us watch this video and honestly i’m so glad cuz bright side makes everything easy to understand!

I was diagnosed with advanced black mold poisoning in 2016. Left me with memory loss, chronic joint/muscle pain, damage to my liver, right kidney and left lower lung. Had I known this info I could have prevented the permanent damage when I noticed the earlier symptoms
If you suspect or are getting sick more often than usually don’t delay mold testing and treatment. It can save your life.
what kind of test did you have my boyfriend has been sick for two years and extremely sick for the last ten months. he has been hospitalized four times in ten months. two with double lung infection. On iv antibiotics twice straight into his heart and still sick.
What kind of test did you take?
@Julie Spencer how did you get diagnosed and where?
Hey, dont overlook molds. Brittany Murphy died from mold in her room. Her husband died months later with the same infection.
Everybody is speculating foul/criminal but quite a number of ppl like myself are leaning more towards the mold cause her room was filthy and cluttered with zero ventilation. Plus with so many drugs. Total disaster. Clean your rooms, people.
When you get this poising you become basically incapacitated, no motivation, will to do the littlest things … I’ve let my house cleaning go and I can barely function much less think ..
no regular doctor will help you or acknowledge mold illness, good luck w/ getting help
No they won't they look at you like you have a serious problem not the toxic mold!
thefreebychoice They're not able to solve problems like this ..
Good luck is right .
Not many Doctors will even acknowledge the problem ket alone treat you for it!!! And they refuse to give you the mycotoxin test!!! Gotta get natural products and help yourself
The internet is such an invaluable tool that is just amazing. Things that only the doctor could tell you (I am not saying you can self-diagnose EVERYTHING) was wrong, now you can find on the net. If you know what the issue is, than its time to start researching and taking action against mold yourself. The same goes for any other problems you may have. Pharma is also in it for the money, so again research alternatives to health issues if your doctor is basically going to lead you astray or tell you to shove off.
I was tested by an immunologist after a professional mold inspection showed 200 times the level of Aspergillum. The test showed that I was highly allergic to this specific mold. Waking up with headaches, sore eyes, sleep disturbances and everything mentioned here. The owners water heater flooded and they did not remediate. DON’T TRY TO REMEDIATE IT YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE AN ALLERGY OR IMMUNE SYSTEM PROBLEM.
Is an immunologist more thorough than an allergist?
I had an allergist referral. They told me they only test for allergic reactions to 4 kinds old mold.
Thank you I kept smelling something weird i c kept cleaning and cleaning the bathroom call the company's that take care of the property the whole bathroom wall had to be torn out!! A busted water pipe from upstairs I've been sick as a dog but once I get away from here I feel so much better I kept telling my husband something was wrong!! I'm thinking about filing a lawsuit this has been going on to long...
This just helped me confirm that the apartment I was in from May 2014 - April 2016, undoubtedly had black mold in walls. From Dec 2014 to Feb 2016, I was hospitalized 4 times, once with double pneumonia, (but I'd cough like I'd smoked 5 packs cigs all the time. Was on oxygen until shortly before I moved). My immune system was compromised, to point where I had sepsis. It's seriously bad. And I was being rushed to hospital, by ambulance, at least every other month. Was real bad. Sickest I've EVER been in my life.
What did you take to get back right and how long
What I'm going through now.
@@TheSpelledMilk same ... It's a nightmare
I hope u are suing the landlord and agent. Maintenance and a safe environment is their duty of care
Yeah what are we doing here these buildings tearing me up and I'm gaining weight but I'm looking more sick it's mold it's so bad I can smell it
17 doctors appointments and badly burning eyes just like the picture, I think I've finally found the problem.
I agree, I haven’t been feeling well for a while now. I’ve been having all of the these symptoms and then some. The doctor has done other tests but because they come back as not showing much they think I’m crazy and imagining things. I can see mold on my wall and I’ve bought stuff to fix the problem but I need a roof guy to come in and find out how it’s getting into my wall before I replace the stucco on the inside. It only shows inside as a 1 foot patch, but (like they said) it could be a much bigger problem behind the wall.
Recently when we have had to turn on the air conditioner other members of my family have been having fatigue, and allergy issues. So it needs to go.
Toxic mold is a major problem in modern homes. The mold is not always from leaking pipes. The majority of American homes built in the last 30 years have vinyl siding. Vinyl siding is NOT water proof. It is not even water resistant. The air barrier behind it is usually shiney cardboard or a mesh plastic vapor barrier. The excess moisture comes from outside in , the overall design is supposed to wick the moisture outside but is insufficient when wet weather is extreme or long term. I worked as a contractor for 20 plus years in the home building industry. Seriously, if you have these symptoms get your home tested by an expert. Hire a testing company that does NOT do remediation. You are more likely to get an honest assessment.
What are the odds that the mold is nontoxic?
That won't happen if you rent.
Ow do I copy ur statement to my fb?? I bet most folks r sick from mild. I have for 2 years.
Who else stopped and looked around their rooms to see if there are stains on the walls? Just me? Ok
The coughing is a big thing I never smoked but coughed like a smoker in the northeast this is HUGE
Haha
Abby_mermaid 312 I live in an apartment where mould grows ALL the time. A pipe broke and now water is all over the place. My bedroom is next to the bathroom. They’re both completely covered in mold. I found that’s why I’m here lol
Usually doesn't grow on walls, usually window sills or areas that are pressed up against something.
@@WayToManyAssassins It definitely grows on walls, esp closets that are on the outside of your home, when your home isn’t sealed letting in moisture/humidity. Brick homes are bad for this. Wish I could attach pics b/c my closet walls are covered!
My ex was toxic mould 😂👌🏼😎

Were you dating my ex? I hear molds creeps around, lol.

Yes! Thank you for all the information. It has answered my questions I had!
thanks for this very helpful information.. 👍
Sadly, My rental suite is like this. My Landlord refuses to Do anything. And My city refuses to enforce the muliple Health ByLaw Orders My Landlord has recieved. Maybe it's time to go to the Media.
Groovy Grape Gramma!! Well, since it's a rental. Why not just move out. Start planning today....save up some $$$$$ and go! Good luck
@@beths4934 Yes, Thank You. Hard to move in Winter on Low Income.
You can pick up a cheap mold kit at Lowe's or somewhere. It might not be as affected as professionals but I swabbed my 2 sites 3 days ago and something is growing in that petrie dish. I split the dish into 2 sides when I swabbed because it costs for each dish to be processed. My bedroom specimen is going like crazy. I'll send it off tomorrow.
@@groovygrapegramma7161 same here....that's why I waited till this Jan. Had to, and they sent me a bill, so I went to court to file claim.
Same we live in a really old house and there's mold all over all walls but our landlord doest even care to fix it we also have other house problems that our landlord refuses to fix
I have a black patch on my ceiling I’m glad I found this video
Now I know how to help it, thanks 🤔
Subbed to you
Now sub to me now Kitty
Wonder Pepay uh ok
I'm glad too, that could be serious!
We're always glad to help! 💖
memory loss, exhaustion, sleeplessness, smelled mould in bedroom: and yesterday I started decorating just to find black mould under the painted wallpaper, it's even eaten into the skirting boards!!
wow that was really helpful. i am very grateful. cant thank you guys more for talking about this health effects may caused by molds or fungus. i am going to see my doctor right away.
I have all symptoms and there's mold in my hallway and spare room. Thank God I've only have a couple more weeks and I'm out of here. I've been sick for 8 years in bed. No one cared or believed me. But took matters in my own hands. And my father lives across the street. Kept saying this is what it was he's still in denial. Lok glad I love myself enough. Thanks for this video!!!!
This is an awesome video!!!! I've been sick for about a month with all of the symptoms described but the hives and itching was awful. I thought i was allergic to something in my room, but what.. It got sooo bad i couldn't sleep in my bedroom. We checked outside the room window and there was lots of black mold that we didn't know anything about. The mold had entered thru the bricks and into the inner wall of the bedroom. Called the pros to repair, very costly. Hoping I'll feel better in a few weeks. According to the pros, this stuff is deadly especially having respiratory problems such as asthma and i have it.
I understand. Been dealing with it for a few years. Has changed my life forever.
Do u use a humidifier.those contraptions with essential oils. Those can cause mold.
I have mold in my house. Unfortunately I'm on my own for fixing it. I don't have every symptom but I have some of them. I hope it's not too late to get help. I was wondering why I had anxiety, breathing problems, and feeling sick. Now I know. Thank you for making this video. It's very informative. I never had these health problems before.
Thanks for the video I'm going to do a checkup to see if my house has any mold.
Lately i have been suffering of all of these symptoms i already had two trips to the eye doctor with 2 prescriptions. I forget every little thing even when i am talking i have a rash that wont go away on my hand 😟I am glad i saw this video i recently moved from a apartment to a house because that apartment was falling apart mold accumulating on the shower head and walls weird smells, now i am hoping that all of that will change eing in a new house. Thank you for the vid really helped now i can see what i can do about my health!.

We moved into a nice home after 11 years of living in a small deteriorating camper. Many symptoms mentioned in this video have just gone away!
Secure your future. May you never have to live with mold again
Thanks for this video came across it,yup my house has mould now I know how to clean it,and fix it ❤️
Thank you for sharing this information explained alot of issues I'm dealing with..
Very well explained and concise video! Mold in the home is not talked about enough.
I think mold fear mongering has been a thing for a long while actually.. People are literally ripping out walls spending 10k+ to get rid of deactive mold that is not affecting the air anymore because of being told false info by mold remediation companies
headaches, earaches, eye pain, general muscle pain but mostly hands and feet as though it were arthritic. Unexplained sneezing, rashes.
My last rental was the same way but the landlord denied it and refused to do anything about it. I own this dump and will have to investigate further.
I am 100% certain I am dealing with this and have dealt with this for such a long time. Can anyone confirm if they’ve had an intense duration of sleep like 15 hours and then waking up with brain fog and lack of concentration? I have 9/9 of the symptoms.
I can tell you for a fact my house has mold. I see it on the walls and I do the exact same thing. I didn't think it was related until I saw your comment. Wow.
Yes yes yes. Found out I was working around MOLD so quit my job. After 3 days of work felt like I was getting flu every week. Did this for years. Figured I would get better. Did a little bit but still wasn't 100. Then I realized it was apartment as well. So I moved into another apartment in same complex. Was so excited. Took everything I me to do this. About 6 weeks ago I got a really bad Sinus Infection. Figured maybe heat. I'm sicker now then ever. Looked in my AC vents & realized its covered in mold. Sounds unbelievable. I'm seriously on verge of having a breakdown. I'm miserable and don't know what to do.
Yeah bro I’ve had brain fog for a couple years, ever since we moved into the new house
Yes ive had this happen to me. Ive had days where i have slept all day or night and still feeling tired and sleepy. I live in a 140 year old historic house in new orleans. The weather duri g most of the year is very humid specially during the summer. There is defenetly a mold problem in this house. The musty smell is so intense specially during the summer even though there are central ac units working non stop. The smell even clings to your clothes. U become nose blind after being inside of the house for long but after being out of the house for a whole day its when u notice how bad the smell is. The problem with these old houses is that they were built in a time where air conditioner didnt exist however the arquitects back then knew that ventilation was important to cope with hot monrhs so inside the walls and ceilings there are channels of open space that often led to vents or to the crawling space. All of those have been shut since air conditioner has been installed but its imposible to completely make the house air tight. Whats happened is that the cold air from the ac meets with warm air moist air from outdoors in between the walls condensating producing water that has created a colony of mold. Even on the edges of the old windows u see the trail of mold that forms where there is warm air leaking inside. It is just bad. Ive develop a bad skin allergy earlier this year. I get extremely itchy and scratching makes it even worse and my skin feels so warm and sensitive ive had to start taking antihistamine which ive never had to before. At first i thought i was allergic to the laundry detergent spending dollars in switching to other detergents and washing everything. Then i thought maybe im allergic to msg or any particular food. Ive tried everything for this entire year and nothing . But today i did discover the mold stains have grown exponentially in many windows and spent time cleaning them and also sprayed one of those anti bacterial and anti mold sprays graded for hospitals with the fan a full speed. I felt my constant itchinnes all over my body diminished exponentially. I dont know if it was a placebo efffect or im going crazy at this point but certainly feel the difference. Could it have been the mold thats been causing this itchines and letargy and brain fog and anxiety and red eyes? Im almost sure it has been. I know that spraying that product and removing the mold stains wont solve the problem permanently as mold will continue to grow back. At least until the cold weather arrives but i may have been able to reduce the micotoxis that were being generated by all the mold i cleaned. Anyhow ill wait two more days to monitor how itchy i feel as well as the other symptoms to confirm.
Yes me. I could sleep forever and am not happy when I wake up. Constant fatigue and recent memory loss. Red yes conjunctivitis for 2 years. Now that I 've chucked out the moldy carpet I am better.
Thank you for such a useful video. This will save lives.
I HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS AT 33 YEARS OLD, I WOULD KEEP THINKING I HAD SOME SORTNOF DISEASE
A big tip is to use a UV light torch if there’s any mold behind wallpaper it will glow yellow
This come right on time, I have been feeling sick lately
Guys make sure you really have any of these symptoms and so does your home, before taking any drastic action. This video could possibly trigger the nocebo effect inadvertently for some people watching. Stay safe everyone.
I've had constant mucus and post nasal drip for many months chronically now. I have lived in some shady places due to being poor in the last two years and I know there's mold in my home.
Start taking charcoal tabs. Report the problem to landlord or go to the tenancy bureau. Try to locate the mold and take pics.
I’ve been poor for the last 2 yrs also. My prayers are with you.
omw so i found the answer to all our symptoms!!! thanks bright side!
Where I live, on a hill with very strong westerly winds, and we’ve had to replace our roof from wind damage 3 times in 9 years. The first time was in a rainstorm and water was pouring in our home thru the light fixtures and built in speakers. Nothing was ever said when the roofers replaced our roof. But I don’t know if they got that far. I have most of the symptoms that was mentioned.
I love your channel so much and i am very thankful for this video
I love everyone
Thank you! 😘
You too
THE Emerald Z GG GG where in this comment do i talk about serial killers,pedos,and theifs
I actually had to move out of my previous appartment. All these things and more were happening to me and my family. We've been at the new apartment for 2 weeks now and I feel so much better. I sleep better at night and I don't have the weird skin rashes. I have to go for a blood test because my monocytes were low. So now I gotta check that again.
I'm happy for you! Do you like your new apartment?
I love it. It's mold free and we don't have that weird smell anymore. My son is not being rushed to the hospital because of his asthma and Im not using my inhalor. Honestly mold is a serious threat to our health.
@@BRIGHTSIDEOFFICIAL I also have a new place here in LA, Ca. I told management after lots of water related issues. All they did was change the baseboards and tell me to get out within 60 days. According to health department as long as they are doing "something" there isn't much a tenant can do but move (at my considerable expense).
@@lodijacer at first I felt great, but remember to continue to detox, air purifier with HEPA, dehumidifier, UVC light, essential oil, etc. Everything you can do, continue to educate yourself, because, toxins actually can be still inside the body. Like me, at first felt great, 2 months later my chest tightness is back, red eyes never went away, and pressure started to show on my head. The mold spores also are with fabrics such as clothes, unless you washed everything, they came with us....
@@kmm129 wow they told you to "get out"? that's different....mine continued to receive my rent, and wanted more, the 2 month early termination after I left. And no, as long as they took the rent, they have responsibilities to maintain a livable premise. Mine had some leaks and they never fixed them, also never professionally remove mold.
Nicely done Bright Side, the world, especially conventional medicine, needs to wake up to the seriousness of mold related illnesses. 👏🏼
I'm so fortunate to live in a clean home with little to no infestation of mold. I've lived in homes with black mold since I was 6 years old and it had been really difficult since then. The freedom of body doing what I can in power to be part of society when home is clean. I simply hope in future we'll have inventions to combat effectively against black mold that we could get as safe product from stores.
I have toxic mold syndrome...colloidal silver y copper are healing.. God bless💛🤗🙏
My wife is at the end of her ropes - we have experts inspecting the house in a few days. Two ER visits, sinus infections, surgery ...year later it is worse than ever nothing helps. What brand, where to buy it? Thx.
EL Dragon find an integrative dr. They will test her for mold, and then give appropriate meds. Antifungals are usually needed.
We're you get those items,pls
Raquel Morales colloidal silver online, need an integrative dr for the antifungals.
@@astridfrost6878 thank you
My family doesn't believe all or any mold can be toxic, that I have an allergy to mold. My eyes are so bad...blurred. My head hurts, I can barely form complete sentences , the hives are so disgusting, I finally resorted to wearing a surgical mask when I have to be indoors. Worse part is i literally live next door to my family. I'm disabled and even have been to the er several times for various reasons but because I'm so lethargic i go days without leaving the house and not one person checks to see if I'm ok. But noticed thelonger I'm maway from the mold, hours... my headache slowly goes away and my vision is better....
You are not alone. I'm dealing with this right now.
Tell ur doc. The doc and ur family have A DUTY OF CARE TO you.
If you can get a dehumidifier for your room
Excellent info. Thanks
Thanks for the Saving.
Hi bright side I'm a big fan I always watch your vids I love it so much!!!🤗🤗🤗
Awww... Thanks! 🌼
Has anyone had the feeling of invisible bugs biting you?
I feel it now it's so bad you can see it on my skin I promise it's not invisible it looks like a worm but not a physical one a micro grease
@HALLAFAME DAME OH my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear that 😢. When you see one. Take a piece of tape and place it over the worm. Then put it in a sandwich bag and bring it to your doctor.
In my case, there's no visible bug. Nor visible bites. You just feel the bites and end up with cuts all over your body from scratching so much. It's maddening.
@@testahuh it's something on your body you just can't catch it before it seeps down into your skin. I got videos of crazy things that you couldn't believe.
I feel them all the time
@@FloridaAnting I'm so sorry to hear that. Look into mold spores.
this video helps me actually i am now suffering from allergy and asthma this video helps me to prevent it and although i subscribe
Weird head aches short zaps that just started. Never get headaches. The smell and stains i can check off and eye issues too possibly
Yea well I’ve just found Mold next to my bed and my eyes always water so thanks
Daft Kid same
Had a friend that had Mold behind her headboard,, She was diagnosed with brain Cancer
n oncologist believed it was from that mold
I smelled a weird musty smell in my room today, and I peeked behind my bed to find mold on the wood. It was actually caused by a leak from the water heater :/
It's grayish blue, and looks like mold you get on bread. I still don't know if it's dangerous.
Read below a teacher showed this to the kids. This is truly educational. So many people are so so ill and it can be a home that is toxic with mould, poor ventilation, roofs hsrbouring years of dust and airconditioners or heaters toxic. I hope we re design showers as the present day ones are horrendous considering people dont have the luxury of cleaning it rvery day. Now homes are so glitzy but not practical.
I lived in a house with black mold on the walls. Developed a dry cough for several months even after l moved to a another house. I was soo debilitated, l think that helped me contract whooping cough. Never stay in a mold house for any amount of time
Interesting symptoms bc they sound so similar to those of an anxiety disorder, so it’s kind of a chicken/egg situation. Which came first , your anxiety or toxic mild exposure ? Either condition could be made worse by the presence of the other. I may have elements of both.
Hummmmmmmmm
Anxiety gives you red, itchy and watery eyes.?
Anxiety does give you itchy red eyes because you can't get enough sleep!! Duh!
Well I've never experienced anxiety ever until a few years ago that would be around the time I started experiences mold symptoms not as severe as I am now ,but still it amazes me how large management company's that get funding though a person in federal funded programs ,still refuse to abid by the contracts sign and put healthy people in unhealthy living situation AND GET PAID TO DO SO ,I've been years of contacting the forces that are supposed to regulate this health code violation and look over it with having knowledge of where this mold that seems to be in most homes rather there owned or rented back this complex has play the switch manager trick but I'm looking into enforcing my right to live BY LAW SUITE ,WITH OUT I COUNTY LAWYER
Obviously it depends on the person. Personally, anxiety is one of the first symptoms I have when exposed to molds.
I have swollen lymph node, I just experienced stress before I’ve got swollen lymph node on my neck and I think our house makes me also sick because of molds. I also experience allergies, i’am always sneezing and develop runny nose. And also experiencing rash and itchy skin after shower.
this video is helpful thanks.☺😊😀😁😃😄😇😍😙😘😚😌😺😸😻🎅👼❤💙💚💛💜💓💕💖💗💘💝💞💟👍
Valuable information
I never knew these things, thanx🙂
Have been dealing with mold issues for years...
Me too, and I do t know what to do, I can’t live in this house any longer .. I’m so sick and have so many horrible side effects from it ..
I like the artwork of that living room in the first scene.
I have had mold in my room for 2 or 3 years now and my family wouldn't do anything about it and didn't let me do it myself because I'm gonna "ruin the walls"
I have all the symptoms regarding anxiety, brain fog, headaches, I forget stuff easily and have zero energy every single day.
since it's summer, we finally decided to spray the affected area with chlorine and then paint the area with some lemon based paint that's shown to be very effective.
I hope my health gets better.
Did your symptoms go away fully? Unless there was a known major leak in the home at some point.. Mold in the walls with no current moisture source is very overblown and is used as fear mongering by mold remediation companies.
I am a mold specialist, to be realistic every building has mold, some of the worst cases I’ve seen is caused by builders not drying the crawl space before insulating it or capping it off(adding the subflooring) just after a rain or a humid day. So don’t be afraid of a little bit.
Are u a actually a mold specialist
@@AndrewTateTopG.no
I can’t breathe it something big yes be afraid 😱
Not being afraid of mold to tell someone that is completely absurd Smfh mold almost killed me on 3 different occasions it’s definitely something to be afraid of especially when you can’t see it because it’s hidden
Activated charcoal pills for your health, and charcoal decorative bags placed through in every room of the house will keep the mold level livable, research this for the details, it’s life changing
Tape Master82 a dehumidifier in the basement and air purifiers in your rooms!!
Thanks the charcoal bags are great idea
I also use a air purifier
@@Tinyteacher1111 will arrive tomorrow
Not sure what these are but googling it as I’ve been sick with most these symptoms since a moving into my new home last year. It’s only 5 years old but something ain’t right
I have a question. See below.
I believe I have a few of the symptoms. One in particular that is sort of mentioned is my joints hurt, but my feet also get swollen among the other symptoms. I rent a condo, but I do not see stains at any walls or ceilings. I believe it’s through the a/c. It also smells musty if I don’t have the a/c on or when I’m away a few days. How can I tell my landlord about this without any present stains???
Please advice.
PS: I was away for 2 weeks and I had no headaches, no joint pains, no redness of eyes, no stuffy nose or clearing of throat, I felt energetic and Not forgetful.
this would explain so much about my health. Better late than never. I am going to look into this. thank you.

Oh man I have all the signs of mold took me moving out to find out that it was everywhere and was terrible glad I'm out of the situation
Yes Ive been neglected a management acknowledgment to the mold that is for sure behind my wall throughout my entire apartment ,I've been witness to many leaks running down the inside of my walls with the last time heard was January 12 ,13,14 2022 and the response from this management is pure disbelief how my health and safety bares no real concern I've been left for eight months to be sheltered in with visual mold in a bad u weatherstripped window for the length of time with a code enforced violation total time it had to be forced and made into a health n safety violation 8 months and as I'm also being violated my rights to privacy during the time I discovered the mold and while my unit has Water leaked trails trailing throughout it's entirely it's been ignored by code enforcement the management my hud worker legal aid and I'm very effected by this mold every symptom mentioned in this 9ways video I have . What's hard to understand is true enforcement not giving to owners that know of this mold contamination eoccupy housing for the plumbers that been servicing this property said by them everyday with leaks I'm into my third year neglected repairs and acknowledgement of needing repairs that is health n safety with no true entity to enforce the situation I'm lost to how I get this matter enforced who can I contact to force the one who's supposed to be the enforcer
I've had a chronic cough now for 15+ years. Have been to soooo many doctors and they all try to tell me it's just allergies or just my asthma acting up. I ask for mold tests and they tell me there aren't any... I know there are. It's very frustrating and I'm SICK of this cough!!
So does your house have mold?? If you don't know then why haven't you had an inspector to check your home to rule out mold?
@@pinkfreud62 the house I was in definitely had mold, that's why I wanted the doctors to check my lungs for mold spores. I had the mold treated in the house and have also moved.
@@pinkfreud62 inspectors are expensive and they usually do it for home owners not renters. It's a means to keep the poor sick.
@@lynnmartinez6122 an allergy specialist or an immunologist.
Hi Lynn,
Ask your Dr for a cat scan of your lungs and for 3 sputum sample bottles so you can have the mucus you cough up tested in a lab. This could be a serious lung condition. I am seeing a lung specialist who thinks I have NTM from mould (a very serious lung condition and I don’t cough much). If your Dr won’t do that for you find a Dr who will.
yes i had mold toxicity for 2 years i have been breathing it in 2 years before that it started as regular sinus trouble and errupted into all of what was on the video..!!
Yes we do but in the UK there's not much help we went to local council and he basically told us to paper over cracks lol so I put a further complaint in. Since then we've had the window reveals plastered and the smell as gone from upstairs in the kids room it's summer here so only time will tell come winter.
Constant coughing is also a sign of dehydration.
I- I THINK I HAVE MOLD IN MY HOME NOW IM SCARED (oh god ;-;)
Turn to the yellow pages under mold removers. They come out, find it, and remove it.
Giggity Giggity goo
had a cold for a week now and i didnt know why. today when i was cleaning up i picked up my hat and saw it had mold on it... i researched it and it all pieced together. now im sorting this out with my mum
came across this thread by accident. I think I have mould symptoms. I sweat a lot in my sleep & I live in Australia where summer gets very warm, so probably not surprising. I definately have had a lot of these symptoms recently.
That thumbnail is making my eye water and itch.
we have mold in our apartment, an allergy doctor has said to me " your environment is making you sick. the thing is, this is the only place I can afford. and around here there's a big shortage on available places to rent that also are " up to code ". my landlord is an elderly person. I've rented here for 7 years, i wish I could move out of this place into some place decent enough.
I think I have mold in our window seals n in bathrooms n I itch@ nite some nights especially on my back! My husband coughs a lot@ night too.He doesn't like to complain too landlord But I will!!🧐🤔I do have shortness of breathe a lot!! Also, seizures in my sleep, constantly have throat irritations.Yeast infection's on the outside.. I'm writing a letter n making a copy of it to start with tommorow!!👍🏾😒🧐👊🏾
Our house is relatively new, but the windows aren’t great. We have 2 sky lights and 4 other windows and they always get covered in mold. We can’t even reach one of the sky lights to clean the mold because we live in a loft house and the window is 2 stories up
I have a ? As far as mold in my deer stand. I have black, white, and orange mold in my deer stand due to water leaving in over the years. It’s all over the blind. I wanted to reduce it this yr but it’s been to wet to get out to it to do it. Is it safe to hunt in for a couple days without getting sick from it? I was in there today getting ready for deer season next weekend and I was in there for maybe a half hr total. I also cut my shooting lanes and when I was all done and got home, I had a sore throat and felt like I was getting sick. I was exhausted and cold and no energy and sore throat. I was also out there cutting my shooting lanes all day. So idk if it was from doing that or the mold in my stand. The mold has been getting worse every yr. There is rotted sheeting and 2x4s. I sit in the stand from sun up to sun down opening weekend. Thanks for the info.
I started having awful issues with shortness of breath. Out of nowhere it seemed. Drs tried a lot but to no avail. It seemed to get better with lifestyle changes but I was relatively healthy already. My roommate is now dealing with many of the same breathing issues and that made me think it must be something in the house because it is so strange that all
The sudden breathing is quite difficult. I literally thought I was going to die in my sleep any day. It was very difficult.
Same here bro I live in a basement tho
Same. Very congested nose and sleep apnea and eye conjunctivitis. It's unbelievable that thy don't offer to test u for allergies. I had to tell them to. My mold test came back negative. Very strange because now that I've eliminated the moldy thing I'm better. Very strange. My nose is not congested anymore or sleep apnea or red eye. Eat charcoal tabs and coriander and raw garlic for now.
My family, my grandparents- my 40 year old aunt /abusive boyfriend, & her kids all live in a house that has mold in the basement that hasn’t been taken care of for 10+ years!!! When I try to step in and help, they all refuse to do anything about it. It’s so heartbreaking & frustrating. My grandpa has severe vertigo. My cousin is always stuffed up. Smh.
Thanks for the facts
I have had a lot of eye redness and recurring Iritis flare ups. Eye pain and constantly going on and off prednisone drops.
I've been having stinging and itching skin. Could not figure it out but I found an old AC with black mold in my closet. The stinging symptom is so bad I could not sleep for the past 3 days. Getting rid of that AC today.
I get the stinging feeling on my skin. Have you been tested for mold
Since returning to the UK, everyone I have stayed with, I am experiencing these problems & I have increased my fluid in take & I never close the window. Sadly England has issues with this from ever since I can remember, sadly this is extremely harmful to our health. If someone needs some advice, I will share what I have done to make it easier to live in a home with these issues.
yes, please tell us what to do with this mold problems? Thank you.
Go ahead, please. I own my little home and I can't move.
England is damp. I bought a dehumidifier and it helps keep the moisture level under control year round. I also keep Detol mould spray on hand. Mould feels like a losing battle.
I m leaving england because of it
With cold weather coming on i had abad condensation problem on a cold wall which caused mold a small dehumidifier cured this
