Having had some guest contact me after returning home from a vacation from a rented house on the island and their child was suffering from respiratory symptoms and went to a doctor and was told that they had probably picked this condition up after being exposed to molds of some kind that caused this reaction in their child. Their doctor told them that this was the #1 CAUSE OF ALERGIC REACTIONS. Molds can grow all around and are on everything, but there are some that can be real bad for infants and elderly people and are often referred to as Black Mold. Things to look for when Black Mold is present,discoloration of baseboards, wallboard,wallpaper, any water penetration marks on walls, mold spots on air conditioner vents, cracks in shower tiles and around poorly caulked tubs, under windows are all areas where you can find these molds. They asked me how can they in the future be sure the home is free of molds. Well they do have a self mold test kit and it does let you know of any presents in about 24 hrs. More info at www.prolabinc.com/ is available. They are easy to use and are sold at CVS,Ace Hardware, Lowe's,True value and many more stores. They also have test kits for Radon gas,carbon dioxide,pesticides,even water so if you pick up one of these for your next vacation and check for yourself you may get a big re-fund from a bacteria spreading landlord. I hope this helps someone out there trying to have that great vacation in Emerald Isle NC. Bloggen Darren at  Emerald Isle Maintenance   252-764-2332    emeraldislemaintenance@gmail.com
