I was in a property last week that was seriously contaminated with mold.
I really never realized the negative effects of mold until I spent an hour in this property. As I opened the door, I looked in the home towards the kitchen in the rear of the house.
I saw the color black everywhere. (the house was vacant) I said to the buyer that I was with that we needed a mask before we could go in to the home. After using a mask, and going in and out of the house to take some "breathers" from the disgusting smells, I was still ingesting the toxins of the mold spores.
Later that day, I became ill. Sick to my stomach, and a headache. I slowly become very sleepy and just "yucky" sick. I left the office to go home and shower. Even still by that evening, I was nauseas and weak. I can tell you first hand that mold is not tolerable in my system.
I have since researched out how to avoid this in the future and have tried to educate myself on "Mold Mitigation". Here is a website that I found useful:
