Where to start? I had a severe toxic mold exposure 3-5 years ago. I have spent the last five years extensively researching to identify how it effects the human body the way it does. Since the body has difficulty ridding the mold from the mucous membranes, it is accumulative. Unless you actively work to get mold fungi out of your body faster than it is accumulating and growing inside you, it keeps accumulating.
You probably got a good dose that night in the bathroom. Sometimes one good dose of a bad ass mold can turn the tide. But, usually it is over a longer period of exposure.There are both inhalation exposures and accumulations, and ingested accumulations. They combine to degenerate the human body.
Inhalation exposures come from both indoor and outdoor breathing environments. The mold spores are everywhere, waiting for moisture to land on and grow. A leaky faucet or toilet is all they need to grow. Indoors they can be growing inside walls, under floors, behind siding, above the ceiling, without being seen. But, the spores and mycotoxins they produce to kill off their microbial competitors, are still harming you.
I recommend everyone have an air cleaner with a true HEPA filter cleaning the mold spores and other microbes out of their breathing environment. Our bodies need all the help they can get these days. Then they can concentrat their efforts elsewhere.
We also get mold fungi from ingestion of antibiotics(concentrated doses of mold) and all aged and fermented foods and drinks. This includes cheeses and alcohols.
I suggest taking 100mg of chloropyllin three times a day in pill form, drink lots of good water, and avoid dehydrating caffiene sodas, coffee, and alcohol. Molds suck a lot of moisture and nutrients out of you for their own survival.
