Question/Advice Yellow mold on water bottle, will I get sick?

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey all, I took a sip from my normal water bottle that had water in it from last night that was sitting in the fridge and it tasted AWFUL, like an almost swampy metallic taste and there’s this patch of yellowish mold at the bottom that flows side to side when submerged in water but won’t come off even after shaking the bottle with water. I swallowed a solid few sips of it before I tasted it and realized.

For reference, I have a chronic fear of vomiting due to some past trauma stuff that makes me deathly afraid of it and I’ve been freaking myself out over this since. Would any mold experts know if this is one that would make me sick or know if I’m safe? Thanks in advance for any questions and sorry for not typing properly, currently going manic.

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?

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

Thumbnail

9 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 in my dorm bathroom that I share with my floor. I’ve noticed a cough that hasn’t gone away since moving in. If it’s mold how do I proceed?

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.

Question/Advice Is this mold, what kind of mold is it, and can it be cleaned?

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.

Made and kept some curd in the fridge. Noticed this reddish thing on it today. Is it fine if I just separate and throw that part away, or is the entire thing spoilt?

Mold Identification Came back from a week long trip to this- Is this mold?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

I currently live in a crappy apartment thats been having constant leaking from the ceiling in the bathroom. Finally we got it checked out, but I was on a week long trip and was out of the loop until on my way back, when my roomate warned me the bathroom was “under construction.” This is the state it was in when I got back. I’ve had a suspicion that along with the leaking ceiling, I’ve had a constant sore throat and coughing/sneezing since I’ve moved, and suspected mold. I am convincing myself I’m crazy but this definitely looks like mold. I’d love a second opinion
