    I’d love to see videos on how doctors don’t want to test for mold poisoning and how many states don’t allow you to order tests on your own from LabCorp etc. you can check cholesterol and other things but not mold toxicity.

    What kind of Mold test kit company would you recommend to use when wanting to test air from a heat pump system? I would also like to test the room that the air from the return unit is in.

    Very helpful video! My renovated shower smells like mold. Room is more ventilated than before as an exhaust fan was added. Is there a way I can measure moisture in the tiled walls and tiled shower pan floor?

    One more thing, you are right about the mold in the ac, back when I was child growing up in Florida, our condo had mold in the ac, as a result my father lost his hearing in one ear. Sometimes I think I also got mold poisoning as now that I’m 31 I’m starting to have lots of health issues

      Look into Meniere's Disease & see if any symptoms seem similar. There have been possible connections made between that as a result of mold exposure.

    Would you call an AC Company or a Mold Company to check for mold in the Air/Heat vents ?

    Thank you for this video, my family and I are currently renovating a 100 year old house, sometimes it smells a bit powdery in the house, the wood was ripped out and it kinda smells like sharp powedery wood dust if that makes sense, I don’t know if it’s mold but it’s sometimes annoying to breathe in. If it’s not mold I’m thinking it could be the precious owners, sometimes I’m not even sure if my sense of smell is even on point as I had Covid and ever since my senses are off

      Our house mold has a wood, cedar smell too. I didn't recognize it as mold for the longest time because of that.

    It’s so putrid Brad. On top of all other contaminants in the cloth already.
