I remeber as a teeneger wehen i cleaned moldy in room with bleach ,
that did give me lungs colapsing reaction, cant tolerate it for one second.
My mother is obsessed with cleaning, and for years I did have to convincing her to
that she "poisoning me, us" in house with all those chemicals.
Now she use more natural cleaners and less chemicals.
I had a bit of black mold on the edges of my bedroom windows between the glass and window frames, I've been meaning to clean it for ages but you need to kill mold with white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide. If you use bleach it doesn't kill the roots of the mold and actually releases dangerous mold spores into the air. I still have a bigger mold problem in my ensuite bathroom but I have stopped using that bathroom for months now because of it until its sorted.
Let's see if it has any effect on how I feel when I wake up in the mornings. Every morning I have to clear my throat of phlegm and sometimes it has blood in it, can also have brain fog and more rarely allergies.
If it doesn't then it must be to do with what I'm eating for dinner.
When I saw the functional medicine practitioner at the start of last year he thought I had mold toxicity based on my symptoms. He put me on a protocol for mold toxicity with binders like bentonite, charcoal and liposomal glutathione for detox. It was definitely needed for a month to start functioning properly again ,I felt ill and had brain fog all the time before but this protocol had no effect on my POIS or reactions to showers. Bentonite was probably the best thing from it which I still use from time to time, it can bind to yeast, heavy metals, mold in the gut. My stools improved a lot.
