I've written many articles on toxic molds and the dangers involved with them, but it seems no matter how much I write, or how much I talk, people just do not get it. My family literally ran from Indiana and the mold that was everywhere there, as well as the heat and humidity. We moved into a little house in Southern Colorado, and just days after moving in, we had a water leak in the basement. I could smell the mold starting to grow after only 12 or so hours from the start of the leak, (yes it can grow that fast, and yes I can smell mold a mile away in the smallest amount!). I called the Realtor in charge of the property and told her about the leak and that I could already smell mold forming in the basement, and she said, "we don't have a problem with black mold here".

First of all, once you are sensitized to molds, you can become allergic to just about everything, molds, (all types, and there are thousands out there), chemicals, pollens, dust, animals, foods, just about anything.

Secondly, there are a number of deadly toxic molds that are black, and black is not the only color that toxic molds come in. All of these toxic molds can grow in your home, and can make you very sick, some of these molds can even kill you. So please do not think that the only dangerous mold is black mold, because that thinking could cost you everything you own, including your health and the health of your family.

Thanks for this article . . . I never really ever gave much thought to mold before.
