Did the humidifier do any good? why did you have to have your contractor/ Just curious as I have a friend with an old house full of mold and mildew I have asthma and our kitchen sub floor was loaded with mold. When the contractor opened the floor, mold spores have to be contained which really requires someone with more experience than me. The kitchen was sealed off from the rest of the house and the workers should wear protective clothing and a respirator. I was told by my insurance agent and the contractor to stay away for two weeks while the floor was open. My insurance paid for me to leave. I think that could be overkill as I found another water leak from my bathtub and decided to repair it myself and not tell the insurance. Insurance only paid $15,000 of the $40,000. I used a respirator and really didn't notice any bad effects. I removed the moldy sheet rock, dried the area with a fan, sprayed TKO on everything and installed sheet rock, then painted. It looks like the humidifier with activated MMS is not such a good idea. I never noticed any chlorine smell but my sense of smell is bad. I have the humidifier next to my chair in the living room. If I use MMS again in the humidifier it will be when I will be leaving for a day or two and not while watching TV. I still will use it with EIS/DMSO. Why try to kill mold spores after replacing most of the kitchen? A medical DR that tested my kitchen for mold told me that I would need two petri dishes sold by Home Depot to check for mold. One in the kitchen and the other outside as a control. Most likely both dishes would test positive for mold as mold is all around us. Also my asthma is still active and most people say to eliminate mold in the home in order to control it. I tried MMS for my asthma and no help. Brickey
