Having Severe Allergies, Breathing Problems. Taking Benadryl. How Toxic Is White Mold To Our Health?
Question: How toxic is white mold to your health when it's bulging out of a few walls? I also confine myself to my room with an air hepa purifier. When I leave my room I have to wear a face mask since other areas of this condo cannot be cleaned due to all her hoarding. I'm now having severe allergies and breathing problems. I'm trapped living here due to financial reasons. My hoarder mother can't afford to fix the problem. What do you recommend to help my breathing situation? I've been using Benedryl and Albuterol inhaler but this is barely helping me! Would breathing oxygen while I'm here in this condo help this problem? Also suffered from severe Asthma as a child. What type of doctor do you think I should see? It's even effecting my dogs breathing as well, but is not bothering my mom.
Thanks,
