How Does Black Mold In The House Affect One S Health?

Me and my dad are living in a house that has black mold. We have been sick for a while and I ve been trying to find out what is wrong with us. Our house has a very bad deep urine, sewage smell. I have been diagnosed with anemia and etc.... my doctor does not want to address the black mold issue. I have staph infection under right arm. We will be moving in to a new home next week will our health get better? Do we need to find a new pcp?

Yes changing the home will improve your health. all the bad smell is because of black mold, aspergillus niger. but some of your symptom is not correlating with it. may be it has some different etiology. like anemia and staph infection. for this thing you should consult the other doctors if you feel your doctor is not providing you proper guidance. thanx health care magic.
