The Common Thing Of Houses And Food

Every day I wake up to the early sunshine beaming down on me and I wonder how we're all still alive. Of course, some have already lived what they were supposed to live. But that's a different story.


I also wonder if food contaminated with mold ever makes people sick. Because I know that houses contaminated with mold make people sick. Of course, you might of heard our story already and you may think we're liars and we just want our house back. But that is not the truth. The truth is that this is our life and we have to live with it. Anyway, we were taken out of our home because of the word that must not be said.


Sometimes it brings tears to my eyes to even think that we are the ones going through this, but we are.


But back to how we lost our house. Well, we had 2 humongous exposures and the first one was when we had one of our bathroom walls taken down in our basement. And the house was almost as big as the exposure but it really wasn't. It was actually 5500 square feet. But the exposure was twice the size of the house, no three times the size of the house. That's how big it was. Some times I forget the types of mold we had but it always comes back to me. We had penicillium, and stachybotrys. Big word. Big number. When we got it tested, the count in all was 320,00 and our tester was amazed at the number. He even said it was the biggest one he had ever seen in his testing years. And the count of stachybotrys was 260,000. And the average would be around ten or so. but that's only what I wake up to.
