How did you go about testing for this? I had black mold in my bathroom and I think i got really sick from it, right around the time this started. This Would be worth testing for me but I don’t know how to even ask.

@jweigers17- yes, that would for sure make you sick. Just tell your doctor the history and you symptoms. Have you had a drank conversation with him?

I am located in Texas and there are state licensed companies that do testing only. Texas regulates the inspectors and they are not allowed to do any of the removal, only inspect . They do visual inspections and test a sample and it is expensive : 2500 sq ft home cost about 1200.00 that was with air quality test, which I definitely recommend. We had 3 of the most toxic black molds there is . The air quality outside of house was 300 ppm ( parts per million ) but inside about 20,000 ppm. It was really bad . If you back mold for a long time it becomes air borne and it then gets in your AC heat duct system and the spores get on all your furniture , books, clothes , everything you own . You have to discard all of your belongings or you can try to clean but it takes heavy cleaning with bleach then let it dry for 12 hrs then clean with vinegar let it dry 12 hrs then clean with ammonia mixed with water 1/2 ammonia to gallon of water and you would wash all clothes 3 times with each . This was the directions given to me by a Dr that actually experienced toxic mold poisoning herself . It is a rough process . First symptoms were : rash, high BP, felt like my head was on fire ( I still experience this almost 3 yrs later ) what are your symptoms ? I am a little slow on responding but I will gladly give you as much information. I have and I will gladly help because I know how difficult this can be . Good luck
