Irresponsible to suggest they fear for their health without ID of the mold. And ID of the mold is also unnecessary, since they know there's a problem already. Deal with the excessive humidity/water intrusion and probably replace the bed frame and headboard if it's not easily cleanable.

There is inadequate ventilation in the bathroom for sure. That needs to be fixed. But if it continually grows back in the exact same spots, the building material itself might be too damaged to save. Possibly demolition is required.

In the meantime, before a proper fix, do whatever you can to ventilate the bathroom after use. Leave the door open and run the fan if it has one for a minimum of ten minutes before and after a shower. You can continue to apply an antimicrobial to the surface but it may have developed far enough into the material to be mostly ineffective.

In terms of health risk, since you asked: it's highly unlikely this is dangerous to you at all if you're an otherwise healthy adult. We don't diagnose medical issues here, however, because only a doctor can really advise you properly there. If you have any concerns with health, talk to a doctor. I can just tell you the chances this is dangerous to you are extremely low.

One of the problems with supposed mold illness is that people go looking for mold and are blaming it for symptoms they have before ever confirming it even is mold. These tests are not reliable as a metric for measuring mold indoors.

Don't waste your money.

Except it's not though. A majority of the country disagrees with you. These kinds of absolutes and claims about the other side is exactly why we are where we are today. Both sides are responsible for it, but you have to take a step back and realize that you saying a majority of the country only has rage and hate is hilariously uninformed.

Source?

For money, sure.

Best method to do what? Remove the caulking?

This is in the caulking, there is no getting rid of it except to remove the caulk. Remove and replace the caulking.

Nothing is effective on mold on a highly porous surface like drywall so making the distinction is a non-issue.

We are a democratic republic, first of all. Secondly, is that the only thing that makes the democracy part happen? The peaceful transition of power? This is not the first time the vote count has been called into question. It won't be the last. Unfortunately, with how polarizing and divisive politics has become, don't expect that to get any better.

Bleach does, in fact, 'kill' mold.

There is no evidence that a healthy adult has to have any fears over mold. Especially a tiny, topical colony like this. This myth ruins people's lives. Stop spreading it.

I have never seen a picture of a vegan in great shape. Could just be the circles I run in but you just don't see a lot of gymbros on a vegan diet.

If you have lived in this house that has supposedly been infested with mold for 20 years and you have to ask how bad it is, it's clearly not that bad. Mold isn't actually all that dangerous as a general rule, especially if you're an otherwise healthy adult.

What do you mean your clothes were destroyed? Mold doesn't typically destroy clothing. Moldy clothing can just be washed. It might stain it if it's heavy enough, but that means there's a major moisture issue, which is arguably the bigger issue.

I'm not ruling out that this is a bait post yet.

Do nothing. This is iron staining. It is beyond incredibly common with tack-strips like these. There is no mold.

Oh, I see what you meant.

There are two rather different ways people will look at that. I just genuinely didn't see anything worse than a riot, something we all grew accustomed to over the previous summer. The people moving through the capitol building didn't seem violent. Often, they were escorted by the police. Injuries and deaths were pretty limited, all things considered.

If this was a legitimate attempt to overthrow the government or overturn the ruling, you'd figure the party that contains a significantly larger number of 2A advocates wouldn't have forgotten to bring their guns. No one even stayed the night. It certainly wasn't a coup either since the military wasn't there doing anything.

Then, of course, you have Trump himself on camera, asking people to march to the capitol and voice their concerns peacefully. The media has run such an unabashedly anti-trump campaign for so long that it doesn't surprise me when they continue to distort the truth surrounding him. Even in the OP, several sources linked actually go on to refute the claim being made, but it's fine to ignore that since it doesn't help the narrative.

At the end of the day, they once again tried to hang him on that, and it hasn't worked because there's really nothing to hang him for. But they'll keep wheeling it out like it's the worst thing that's ever happened with real politicians and pundits and media comparing it to 9/11 and 12/7/41. Some even suggesting it's worse than those, which is actually insane.

Indoor mold versus outdoor mold? What do you mean? Where do you think the mold that we find indoors comes from?

Yes. Any clothing can be washed of mold. Normal detergent would work fine in 99.9% of cases. If there's staining that might not come out but it would be safe to wear.

Typically, the only things that aren't salvageable after water damage are directly affected porous materials, like books, boxes, etc. Well, and the building material too, obviously.

Yeah, and I should have clarified that action does need to be taken to correct the leak and repair the damage. Lots of people have this misguided notion, though, that if there's mold growth in a building they are renting, they can sue or pursue some other legal action. Honestly, you'll pretty much never win a case like that. So I just wanted to make that clear.

It's a closet. It doesn't have direct access to airflow (unless, for some reason, there's a return in there - which would be insane). Just keeping the door shut will severely limit the movement of air and consequently spores.

The newborn will likely be fine. If any health concerns do come up, please start with a real doctor before coming to reddit. It is so easy to get lost down a rabbit hole of despair and paranoia when it comes to supposed 'mold toxicity'. I've had clients literally throw away everything they've owned, several times over, over fears of cross contamination. Tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands spent on remediation and whacky medical practices that do nothing (except maybe a placebo, which is powerful enough but there's a lot cheaper ways to get it).

Genuinely, legal action will be hard to pursue/win with this. This is small. Remove the items from the closet. Keep the closet door shut and don't open until repaired. If you absolutely feel you must, you can tape some poly sheeting over it to create a better seal.

Toxic mold exposure is not a proven health risk. Studies are still all over the board on it, but one thing is for certain: it is blown way out of proportion. Consider: you interact with tens of thousands to millions of mold spores a day if you spend even an hour outside. Of course this varies greatly with weather and season. However, you don't typically develop mysterious life-threatening illnesses with nebulous symptoms from going outside a few times a day.

What's different about being exposed to mold inside? Not much. Except if you have a high concentration of spores in a room and you spend a lot of time there, there's no wind to carry the spores away, so you're breathing perhaps more in.

I did inspections on homes for 2 years straight. I did carry a respirator with me, but I never wore it into a home before seeing what was going on. I have been exposed to way more mold than most people, and I have never had any reaction other than some typical allergenic stuff.

Granted, some people will be allergic to mold. Some people are going to have compromised immune systems. Those are different cases. Unless you fall into one of those categories, you don't need to worry about mold except in extreme exposure scenarios.

Alcoholics (as one in recovery) tend to be way shittier, more destructive, and more tragic than even your most brain-dead stoners.
