I have never seen anyone address the issue of black mold contamination here. I have just discovered that I and my husband have been living in a black mold contaminated environment for the past 8 years. After researching it, it all makes sense, finally. I now know why we are so sick. It was not visible, it was behind the walls. Most doctors are not trained to diagnose black mold poisoning. The first diagnose they give it is fibro. Has anyone else been exposed to black mold?

No but I have asked my primary doctor just to make sure that was not the cause of my problems. Thank you for bringing this to everyone's attention. It sure is scary what black mold does to people.

Oh I did many years ago and didn't know what was wrong with me until I almost died! I was so sick I could not get out of bed. Was not able to eat or drink ANYTHING and even a sip of water would make me horribly sick to my stomach. I was then put on high dose inhaler and strong cough medicine along with all kinds of lung tests. I am now terrified of even a tiny spot of mold

I don't think so but I did start looking into this as my son suffers from chronic rhinitis, asthma and sore eyes. Thanks for the reminder. I would be very interested in your future findings. Wishing you a good day 🌸
