I wanted to share an amazing discovery that happened quite accidentally. This last summer, my husband and I did a remodel of a 1960's rambler. We had two very old, very moldy bathrooms. Once the drywall was removed, and the mold taken away, my T dropped significantly as did my other sinus issues. I really believe sinus disease, allergies, and mold significantly affect how loud and disruptive my T is. I am very thankful to have found the mold piece of the puzzle. Maybe this info. might help others! Thanks-

Interesting. I rent an old cottage surrounded by trees. It gets pretty damp. For a period, we had some visible mold on the ceiling in the bathroom.
Anyway, not to suggest that removing the drywall didn't actually help, but I'm sure part of you is calmer having it gone, which helps too. I've wondered for about a year now if the dampness and air quality in my house is affecting my health. I won't know until... I move out! So 2-3 years from now when I can afford to buy a small home in the most expensive county in America, I'll report back.

I got my tinnitus back after 2 years and perhaps it is no coincidence I just moved into a fixer with MOLD! I was shocked with your post as maybe that is the
missing piece of the puzzle for me. I will have to check into this. Thanks so much for the info. MM

Did I read somewhere that mold is highly toxic?

Greg,
Depends on the type of mold, and your exposure to it. "Black mold" is pretty bad. But taking one whiff and then breathing fresh air for 10 years, you'd probably be fine, so your exposure to it plays a big role. The biggest issues are usually respiratory. A quick Google and you'd have plenty of info. - Rob in CT |
