Yes, that was basically was I was told at the Lahey Clinic last June of

you explain the media invented this when it is actually mentioned in the
Bible. And yes, while I know that mold is normal in the environment, I
am talking about living with "excessive" mold hidden behind wall
cavities, which had a bad odor. And I was wondering also what you
would consider "normal?" I am not talking about "normal" like the kind
you find once in awhile by a shower or something, I am talking about
"excessive" exposure from inhalation of the invisible mold spores, that
continued despite use of central air conditioning, and what does this
does to a person with an already compromised liver/immune system?
What is the mental disorder associated with MCS? Thanks for the link.
Cheers and good morning to you,
