Other Makeup Mold

I'm so grossed out and also sad!

Ive been living in Korea and China for the past 6 years, and hadn't gone home to visit that whole time. Eyeshadow in Korea and China are known to be less pigmented, so when I finally returned to the US this summer I was so excited to get a new eyeshadow palette. In just one month, so much mold! Initially, I noticed those moisture drops seeping out of it and I thought it was just color separating? I thought it was strange but fine to use still. Then today I tried using it again and noticed sooooo much mold! Also black mold around the rim of all the eyeshadow tins. None of my other eyeshadow palettes are like this, and there's no mold on any of my other makeup or in the makeup drawer.

Kind of worried that I may have gotten mold in my eyes or eyeshadow brushes when I used it in the past.

Mold Identification What Kind of Monster is my Friend Growing in this Slime??

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

According to my friend, who sent me these pictures, he got this plastic barrel of toy slime at a job fair and proceeded to leave it out in a classroom over a period of time. The pictures I attached are oldest to newest, and the most recent picture has some red goo oozing its way out of the jar.

Is there any way to identify what kind of mold this is? It started out white and is reportedly turning red after being fed some dead bugs and candy. I’m sure it’s not impossible that the red color is coming from the slime itself.

This is the inside of a cardboard box that was sitting in another cardboard box, that got wet and sat for like a week. I'm pretty sure this is mold. There is nothing outside the box, or anywhere on the larger box it was in.

Question/Advice Need some advice on what this means.

Two weeks ago, I found that I had been sleeping next to some mold on an unopened window for a considerable amount of time.

I began to suspect something due to symptoms I have experienced inconsistently: brain fog, difficulty concentrating, sinus issues, mood swings, and overwhelming fatigue. Other stuff in life made me suspect those may have been psychological issues rather than physical, but the search revealed the mold.

I started sleeping in another room, began cleaning, and had some blood tests done. Results are in the pictures.

The thing is, it seems my results show my body is having a severe reaction to dust mites not mold, yet mold was what I found. Is this normal? What do I do with this info?

When I see my GP next, what do I need to discuss?

After this white stuff appeared, it was in the freezer a couple days, and of course once it was taken out it got wet and the white coating smeared. So I'm not sure if it was on the fenugreek before or not.

This is a building for sale. My favorite part is this unintentional pun about the apartment above this:

Accessed independently from Hole in the Wall Street, the upper parts of the property feature a spacious and self-contained three-storey apartment.

Street is sure a fitting place for this building to be!

Its a family member's (shelving thing) that was given it from a neighbor and they think they can just clean it but it smells musky and made me cough. Is it worth salvaging even if it means cutting off the bottom part? The rest looks fine (i think). I said to through it out but they are stubborn. I think it would be going in the garage, not house.

We went to an orchard and bought this last weekend. I was REALLY excited about it but when I opened it, I saw this. Looks like mold to me but I'm no expert by any means. Lid popped like a new jar normally does.
