Avatar f tn In November of 2009 we moved our store location and found a month or so after moving that there was black mold in the basement. Over the course of a year I became sick and fatigued to the point of leaving my place of work until she moved to anew building. I filed Workmens Comp. My question is because I already had COPD they are saying that it is emphysema progressing in my lungs. My question is how can you find out if the mold is in your lungs, and down the road will show up as Cancer.
Avatar n tn Injury to nail due to trauma it self can cause the features described.With out a fungus test,woods lamp done, not safe to give internal antifungals.
Avatar f tn I cant say for sure if this is the case for all patmers since there might be multiple types of patm, but at least for me the things that helped me was getting rid of sebum and not fungus or mold. I think that even if patm was mold or fungus, it wouldnt matter if a lot of things were derived, contained, or are mold/fungus because it wouldnt affect the specific type of mold that causes patm.
Avatar m tn Antibiotics from the doctors comes from fungus, citric acid in our foods is derived from black mold and plus it functions as an antibiotic, which destroys all of our good bacteria. We have too much mold exposure and we are not cleaning it out fast enough. What we could have is an opportunistic fungi. Starving Candida does not kill Candida it just makes it go dormant. You need antifungals and or salt. There is a salt flush you can do. And a list of anti fungal herbs .
Avatar n tn I was exposed to mold from faulty pipes from my furnace,blowing airborn mold into a room, for over the month, so who knows how much mold is now growing, for all that condensation. I tried to spray the surface mold with bleach water, so can't see what else is growing on unseen surfaces! Any advice? What are you both going to do. Have been very sick, but didn't connect to mold.
Avatar m tn First i think we should make a clear distinction here, do you believe patm is a collective of many different fungi or mold? or is patm one fungus or mold? If you say that its a collective then how is it possible that we all have the same types? and what happens when we kill off one of the strains?
Avatar f tn Sticky gooey skin, hair that sticks together, bitter taste in mouth, fingernail and/or toenail fungus. MOLD illness, mold exposure. After bath, you are drying with moldy towels probably however clean they may smell or feel. Hence you feel worse. I hope you have moved out of your house by now, or discovered source of mold and had successful remediation, which often is not enough to make your house safe to live in. You may have reached your threshold for mold tolerance.
Avatar m tn He prescribed a urea nail stick to aid with the fungus like matter under the fingernail. I keep it trimmed back to allow for new nail growth, but it gets to a certain point and develops this gross looking end to it. Any idea why it's taking so long for the nail to regenerate, or is this an indication of a possible underlying cause?
Avatar m tn no no ,, my nails kinda look normal but thier is about 15 or so ridges they are like groves and its not a fungus , acctually I got a fungus several years ago and this thing killed it , it took a year to do it and the nail had a horizontal line as the fungus grew off,, and i've seen the pitcher in a magizine of what I have ,, and the drops were just 19.
Avatar n tn what can remove any type of fungus or mold that's growing from the inside of your body?
Avatar m tn Mold is reffeered to an outside or inside house fungus.Candida or other human fungus its not called mold.Studies say mold as its outside fungus can never live in human body.But i really doubt it.Lets be clear,PATM is not a recognised term by medical community,the same medical community who disagree the term of systemic candida infection and deny the notes of other doctors that noted patients can develops allergies to their candida.
Avatar n tn My other thought is that it could be caused by a fungus, not necessarily a mold-allergy, but just irritation from the mold or fungus. Is there a lot of industrial pollution in the area? It could be air pollutants that your body isn't used to.
Avatar f tn ) should i worry obout Acanthamoeba keratitis ? Or the black mold fungus that went in my eye?

Avatar f tn con This correlation also strengthens the hypothesis that we are dealing with a fungal/mold issue. If you have anything to add or stories please respond.
Avatar n tn The next time it happened was years later I found out I was sleeping next to mold in my room and felt horrible. This was also a fungus in my digestive tract, still haven't gotten rid of that yet.... To find out if your issue is mold/fungus related eat a lot garlic the night before, if you have orange spots in your stool or orange when you wipe, the garlic(an anti fungal) killed some of the fungus in your digestive tract.
Avatar f tn Cut off the loose nail portion close to the skin without cutting into the skin. A pair of fingernail nippers or fingernail scissors work best. Then brush on pure tea tree oil a couple of times a day.
Avatar n tn They did a blood test for mold and it came back i was right about the mold, they said i was allergic to mold and dust. They gave me medacine for the breathing, symbicort and some depression pills. The breathing has got a little better but not 100% but the chest pains are still there. The pain is mostly in the middle of my chest. I just want to know if this is normal with an allergic reaction/exposure to mold?
Avatar m tn Go to KNOW THE CAUSE and he talk extensively about mold and fungus and treatments. Wishing you the best.
Avatar m tn 2) Hubby feels we can’t see or smell the mold and that the spore levels of 264 (after air purifying BTW) are so low they should not be the cause of my symptoms. Are the "spores" the only aspect of mold that acts as an allergen or irritant? I want the air quality people to come back out & test the inside of the bench because I want to know what's in there.
Avatar f tn I frequently have fluid in my ears when I go to the doctor for dizziness and sinus issues. Blood test showed no allergies, but levels of mold/fungus on my blood. Sometimes it’s so bad I can’t drive.
