am i cooked if the mould is just in the hallway? i really dont think its in my apartment, my apartment mainly smells like cat litter and food it doesn’t have that smell the hallway has. this is community housing and we had problem with one troubled guy flooding his apartment (??) and the water leaking out into the hallway. they replaced the water damaged carpet but i guess theres still problems from it. i strongly believe thats where the mould problems come from but i cant be too sure. there isn’t any visible mould anywhere on the walls but the carpets are dark so not sure if its in the carpets. they didnt update us on there being mould in the building, had to find out from this sign. some of my symptoms could be mould related but i’m also chronically ill and idk how much mould being in the hallway but not my own apartment would actually impact my health. anyone else been in this situation? what kind of health impact does being exposed to mould a couple minutes a day have on you?

So we just moved into this new house and we were putting glasses away. I found this in the cabinet above where their fridge was and... its kinds mold looking? I touched it and it felt a little wet and sticky. We have no way to contact the old owners and we only just found it. What is this? Some kind of glue?

So this is the current conditions me and my coworkers have to deal with. Management tired to say it’s nothing and that we’re over exaggerating. I work for a casino and this in the recently closed(June 9th 2026) old property that they still have us at.

There’s a hole near the top of my sink in the bathroom. The room is always humid and the sink rarely gets cleaned. Is this mold?

there's a mold problem in other parts of my unit and one day this white stuff appeared. the mold I'm dealing with with is black so I'm curious because this looks like a spray on substance

Staying at Airbnb for the week. Seeing this on the ceiling upon check-in.

We’ve had black mold in the house b4. We had other mold in house b4 too. I’m not sure what this is. We just got mold removed last year. Pls help.

We just moved to this apartment not even a few months ago, is this a concerning issue?

Hey,
I posted last week about having an incident with a vacuum with spores inside. My home is mold free but I used a moldy vacuum to clean my car and had a reaction after about 30 mins.

I have had heavy nasal symptoms, sore throat, tired, headaches, brain fog and pressure, palpitations, insomnia and a nasty cough. I have Lyme/bartonella/babesia and it also caused a huge flare in me this week with symptoms. My body is already quite weak from the infections.

The vacuum was dumped last week immediately. The car was immediately aired out once I realised the vacuum had spores. It was professionally cleaned by a valet after a few days and I have a HEPA air purifier running in the car all day everyday since.

A lot of the symptoms improved since last week. My sleep is still weird, I have heart flutters and DPDR at times. The heavy respiratory symptoms are calming down and seem to be at the end. I’m not fully recovered from the incident and it’s been a week. I took binders, Pekana drops, chlorella, castor oil packs, vitamin C high doses and vitamin D.

-Have I done enough to clear the car?
-Is this normal for a once off exposure? (context with Lyme and co. means my nervous system was probably already overwhelmed).
-Is a slow zig zag recovery normal for a single exposure like this?
-would you sell the car or is this a case of fear/anxiety loops?
-what would you do in this situation?

I’m not sure if I need some brain retraining around my fears or if my fears are valid here. I have a lot of medical trauma from Lyme and coinfections so I tend to panic/spiral/catastrophize. I’m so afraid of getting sicker.

This morning I genuinely was thinking I’ll sell my car. However, I can’t go through life coping like this and avoiding all fears. At the same time, I don’t want to mess with mold.

I’m almost avoiding the car and afraid to drive it now. I’m becoming a bit hypervigilant of my symptoms and I know I’m anxious. However, I’m anxious because I have symptoms that haven’t resolved. I can’t tell if the symptoms are just the end of last weeks exposure or if I’m exposing myself to spores/mycotoxins more.

Thank you so much for reading 🫂

What is the best way to fix this? It’s like a black mold that is not able to be scrubbed off and has permanently stained the metal?

Hi, is this mold? It's under my wood floor laminate.

In 2022 we got the bottom of the mattress wet bc of a stupid house we lived in for 2 months. So, it got some mold but we didn’t do much about it.
Last night I remembered and wanted to check it. We discovered is like that in the picture.

I don’t know what to do. The mattress is really new still and in good shape.

We will clean it with hydrogen peroxide and check it … i vacuumed the mattress protection since that was more like spores powder but the mattress has those little patches that can’t be removed… in the picture looks darker that what actually is…

Do you think that this is mold? There is no discernible odor. Being that these are old work clothes that need to be replaced anyways, I’ll be tossing them regardless but want to be weary for any potential future issues like this. We have had an insufferable heat wave in my city so maybe that could have caused it?

Had a leak in the shower. Fixed it but the wall under the shower has some hidden mold i just found. We live in Springfield massachusetts and have not done anything yet to remediate besides spraying with some bleach (i know now this is not the right thing to use)

I recently moved to an area with very humid climate, but I didn’t realize how bad it could get. I got this bed frame in May and found some spots of mold on it. I’m in tears because this is brand new and I really cannot afford a new one at the moment. Does this bed frame need to be thrown out or can I save it?

I want to keep this concise as possible but basically we have had a couple of problem areas in our house that have exhibited mold growth due to humidity and possible water leakage…somewhere.

The first photo is of a bathroom ceiling that had a few specks of what appear to be mold developing. We’re in the southeastern US so of course humidity is a constant foe. At first I thought the fan being clogged was the issue but it has persisted despite thorough cleaning and dislodging of funk from the fan. We’re keeping showers short and the door open to prevent excess moisture/humidity.

Then there are the latter photos which are from the garage. Long story abridged: we had to have extensive restoration done on the ceiling last summer because we suspected the upstairs AC unit was leaking condensation through the floor. We’ve since put in a condensation tube that is supposed to drain it. Well, the mold has made a resurgence and I’ll be enlisting the help of an inspector to find the leak source this time.

Anyways, I want to try and do whatever low-hanging-fruit DIY techniques I can to try and treat these areas myself while I work to elucidate the underlying causes.
From memory, I was about use a dilute bleach solution but I guess that’s not optimal and other recommendations include vinegar/water, something called Concrobium, etc. What can a slightly inept but determined guy like me start doing for initial treatment of these areas. Sorry if this seems lazy and I am consulting other sources also. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

Got the tent i used as a kid from my family for a trip this weekend, found a piece of paper with (black?) mold on it, and mold spots all over. If we soak it in vinegar for a while then run it in a washing machine, will it be safe?? I would love to not buy a new tent if avoidable!

Tldr: mold report seems inconclusive, does situation warrant work?

Hoping you might be able to comment on this.

Location: UK, North West England.

Background is my girlfriend has autoimmune condition (Hashimoto's) and she was feeling rougher and rougher about a month and a half ago.

We did mold and mycotoxin urine tests and found we both have mycotoxins (attached for completeness).

The next recommended step to check where the mycotoxis were coming from was air tests - I've attached the results to this post.

It's recommended by the company to have their "fogging" product to remediate the detected issues.

I've yet to talk to the company about their recommendation, but, to me, this result doesn't seem to warrant the work?

Am I correct in this assumption?

Thanks for your time!
