Hi! Thanks for sharing this, not many people talk about it. So i currently rent a mobile home. I've been here 5 years. The previous tenant i knew her, we grew up together in school years ago. I ran into her about a year ago at the store and she said i see your staying in the same place i rented . She said did they ever replace the walls I'm the middle bedroom that's right beside the bathroom. I said not to my knowledge she said that there was a very bad water leak in the bathroom and that she had encountered the floor soaked in the bedroom and she knew it was in the wall by looking at the bathroom wall. And pipes had busted as well In the kitchen under the sink. So i went home not thinking about it and just happen to notice that the bathroom had like a hard plastic nailed to the wall in the bathroom i always thought it was paneling or the wall . Also i have been noticing for a long time a very ugly smell under the sink. It's wood under there so i thought because the home is from 1975 being old maybe it was that. I'm very very curious if you would please go into detail how you started noticing symptoms In yourself and your home. And how long did you notice them. I've never heard anyone talk about this . Ive been very sick and my health has went down hill over the past 3 years. To where i really dont leave my home anymore. I would so appreciate it. Thank you!!

Happy to answer you with my experience. I had been dealing with digestive issues and my doctor was treating me for that as well as fatigue as I have Hashimoto’s. I was feeling better and better. Then my symptoms returned. I had been following my doctors plan carefully, so she suspected I may have exposure to mold. But there are numerous symptoms to mold toxicity- runny nose, coughing, itchy eyes or skin, brain fog, lung infections, shortness of breath, dry skin.
My doctor asked me if we had had water leaks in our home and we had 3 known leaks and one unknown we were not aware of. We did not notice any smells or see any mold anywhere. So I was tested but she also said we needed to have our home tested. Otherwise treatment would not be successful because I would continue to be exposed to mold spores.
What you smell under the sink is highly likely mold.
If I were you, I’d find someplace else to live if possible. Since you are renting, the owner may not be agreeable to doing anything to have the trailer tested and then have the trailer cleaned up. It can be expensive depending on how much of the trailer has mold growing in it.
And I recommend you get tested for mold toxicity and for other reasons that may be causing your symptoms that have increased over the 3 years.
I hope this info helps. Take care.
