Has anyone had their home tested for toxins? Since I bought this new - old house, I am sick all the time: breathing problems, passng out, exhaustion.

Sounds like mold to me. I had to move out of a house where i was living, when my fibro started, to save myself and my family. My kids were always sick and i literally felt like i was slowly dying. I lost almost everything... replaced all furniture, clothing, bedding, etc. It was horrible.

The mold can be hidden in the walls. If possible, get out of that house as soon as you can. Stay with someone until you can get it checked out. That black mold can kill you. I'm so sorry that you lost your fur baby but take that as a warning of what is can do to you and your family. I hope you can find a place to stay until you get it checked out. Please keep us informed.

Check for radon and black mold
There are companies that do this work.
