Anyone delt with MOLD in your house? (Health issues)

Had a flood 12 months ago in my apartment due to a pipe bursting from my Neighbours . Renovated the floorboards, however the kitchen has had black mold inside it. I've tried to clean it, but I can't access all of it because the wood must've been soaked.

The landlord has recently decided to take action.


Could this very well be a direct causation into developing an autoimmune disorder?

Mold is everywhere.

Just don’t sleep in it, eat off of it, swim in it.

my mom is a very messy person. she rarely did laundry or cleaned. Bathrooms had black mold. basement had black mold.

I was so familiar with the smell of mold I never even knew what it smelled like. People would tell me I smell like mold at school. I never understood them.


Me, my dad and my sister all developed bad auto-immune issues. My dad eventually got dementia and my sister went clinically insane.


I left the house at 17 and that was my saving grace. I eventually recovered but I have all kinds of weird allergies. My mom however was never affected by the mold. it's deadly stuff for most.

Did they ever clear up? I knew someone who was convinced for 3 years they contracted Lyme Disease, some really nasty fkin symptoms, but ended up moving out of their house (infested with black mold) and within a couple months bounced back to normal.

I'm only realizing this now on how dangerous this stuff is. Clearly it's worse than smoking....

I've got an air purifier and bleach the kitchen as much as possible when out. However would this be sufficient until the kitchen gets fixed?

I can barely walk and can't train at all.

Given your health issues and that your landlord is aware of the situation I would be seeing about the landlord helping cover the cost for you to relocate, at least temporarily.

Their insurance may offer some coverage for it. At the least they could waive your rent so that you can pay to stay someplace else short term until the mold is fully remediated.

But if you are able it might be better to just move and carefully clean and wipe down everything you take with you as you have been feeling so ill.

the only thing you can do is move.

there's no renovating, there's no nothing. move asap. don't deal with the hassle especially if it's impacting your health. this is the advantage of renting. move asap.

seems like the risk is overblown but being a jabbie could mos def cause an autoimmune disorder via IgG upregulation srs

I'd be sleeping in the car if it's as bad as you say.

you have to move.

start taking some activated charcoal to bind up what's in your system. NAC helps with mold as well.

Sleep in your car for now. if the mold is that bad that you are reacting to it this harshly you're insane to spend any time in your place.

if it's that severe, you might as well play it up. One of my college roomates successfully sued his landlord and got to live there rent free for over a year as the trial was taking place on top of a settlement. ded fkn srs.


the mold isn't ur fault either. i would recommend you talk to a lawyer.

House I live in had black mold when I bought it. The fix was simple, but not cheap. Had all the insulation removed, all the walls, floors, and ceilings scrubbed with mold killer, then had the house sealed and ozoned, then had the crawl space and basement encapsulated, and lastly had all the exposed wood painted with mold resistant paint. Total cost was about $30k.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

Yes, the house was basically condemned, It was not in livable condition. I had a mold mitigation company come in and test the mold to confirm what kind of mold it was, and went from there. In addition to what I posted in my last post, I also had the HVAC replaced and had large dehumidifiers installed as well as UV air scrubbers installed because you need to control the humidity or the mold will come back. That was an additional $25k or so.

Oh yeah 100% yet I am impervious to mold.

It’s not even bad for you unless you lick your walls or inhale your carpet fibers or something.

Mold is everywhere, on your skin, on all surfaces, everywhere. So is bacteria. In fact there’s more bacteria cells in and on your body than human cells srs.

Also, I thought you found a supplement stack of CoQ10 and something else that seemed to help your conversion disorder and hypochondriasis symptoms?

mold is so hard to get rid of. the best thing you can do is spray the **** out of it with bleach and make sure it doesn't get damp
