Hi Mike, Thanks for thinking about this problem. I do not know where the sensitivity comes from. But I know mold has been around for 940 million years, and we have only been around for about 4 million. Se we evolved in an environment that contained mold pretty much in its present form. The mold toxins are designed to kill other molds. They can be extremely harmful to humans. I read somewhere that a few micrograms of concentrated dose of the toxins will kill a human in less than 24 hours. The toxins disappear from the body, so the death looks like it was from natural causes. This apparently is used by certain nations to assassinate their enemies. We are only collateral damage in the biological warfare that has been going on forever. So we had to develop mechanisms to deal with the toxins, else everyone would have been too sick to hunt or do any of the other things we did back then. From reading articles by a professor at the University of Toronto, somehow we metabolize the toxins on the spores, and probably the spores also. I don't know where this happens, maybe it is in the liver. The problem seems to be that a high concentration of spores can destroy the cells that metabolize the toxins, so they are free to roam. They cross the blood-brain barrier and give the most terrible headaches you can imagine. They are completely separate from a normal headache. Aspirin, Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and all the other headache remedies have no effect. On occasion, I will have a normal blinding headache and a mold headache simultaneously. I would prefer an ordinary blinding headache over a mold headache any day. I can continue to function through a normal headache, but a mold headache is debilitating and crippling. It will stop you in your tracks. Nothing will relieve the pain except to remove the spores from the air. When the mechanism that normally handles the spores is damaged, the body has no way to get rid of them except through the skin. This is most unpleasant. I often have to take a shower several times a day. So I believe the various remedies that may try to mask the symptoms may not be any help. The toxins would still be free to do all the other damage, such as ruin the digestion, cause the skin to crack or fall off completely, produce terrible exhaustion and fatigue, cause terrible leg and foot cramps, ruin the thought processes and completely mess up your emotional stability, and all the other weird, vague symptoms. The huge risk, and the reason I am taking so much of everyone's time to read this, is the same thing can happen to anyone. Before this happened, I was a normal, vigorous adult going about my business. I had never experienced any problems with sensitivity to mold. All it took was several months living in a contaminated building, and I lost everything I had built in my life. The message is if anyone starts to experience any symptoms of mold, or other weird symptoms that have no apparent cause, check for mold somewhere in the environment. Once you start experiencing the symptoms, it is too late. The damage is already done, and it is permanent. If you cannot get rid of the mold, complain to the city about the problem and find another place to live that is free of mold. But make sure that others are not harmed by living in that building. Mold is no joke. It will harm you. Like Mike D. says, be well. Blessings, Mike M. -- The Silver List is a moderated forum for discussing Colloidal Silver.
