that would make me worried about her house, black mold can be invisible and have nasty effects like that.
Nurse here. This is worth looking in to. That shit can cause lingering lung/respiratory issues if exposure is too excessive.
Hey i hate to leach medical advice but is bleaching the walls sufficient?
Im stuck in a 24 month contract and after one month it is clear that all the walls have been freshly painted over to hide mold. I have daily allergic reactions but what else could I do?
That's really more of a contractor type of question because it all depends on how extensive/deep it is/was. I do know that you can get cheapish test kits to see if there are any spores shedding into the living area.
Not the OP but my friend went through something similar with a bad rental. Step one is get a dehumidifier, deprive the mold of the moisture it needs. This won't solve the main problem, especially if the roof is leaking, but it'll help keep mold off of interior surfaces like walls. Step two: bleach works to kill the mold, but does nothing for further prevention. What we used was foaming mold killer spray. It clings to the walls and also will prevent mold from coming back. And please, please get a checkup from a doctor once you have moved out. My friend had a lot of inflammation and other problems from living with the mold for so long. Dr was able to manage her recovery and help her to get back on track. Also fuck your landlord they sound like a real peice of work.
You dont even know the start of it when it comes to my landlord. Currently the list of broken stuff that they wont fix:
