What do I do now? I just inhaled a lot of mold...?

Question

I have no idea where to post this, but please help me! I just moved into this new house, and encountered a LOT of mildew and mold when pulling a carpet up. The smell is know almost overpowering, and my throat is hurting now. I took the carpet out, and I plan on bleaching the floor, but what can I do to help me? How much should I be worried about this? PLEASE help ASAP!! THANK YOU!!

Answer 1

this will likely sound silly, but in all seriousness, the mould spores could actually cause you long term issues,... I would honestly see a dr. if the pain persists, or if you experience any breathing difficulties. If you have allergies to dust etc. this could cause not only long term damage, but may result in more serious issues! I wouldn't be messing around with this!! Bleach or not! Need to not only be wearing a mask, but also be very cautious with continuing. May want to hire professionals for this! Don't want to risk your life over some renos?

Hope this helps?!

Good Luck!! And don't mess with your health ok?

Answer 2

There is a product called MICROBAN that the mold remediators use and you can buy it , bleach doesn't get all the mold but this stuff does.mold is bad in texas !!! p.s. use a paint respirator (disposable ) from auto paint store.

Answer 3

you should have done this with a mask over your nose and mouth. But hindsight.....any way I would call my physician in the morning and make a appointment to get it checked out. If you are really worried call the er and talk to a nurse to see if there is any immediate danger.

Answer 4

you may have to cut your dick off; it will take the focus away from your mouth. I suggest that you do so immediately to avoid going to a doctor.

Answer 5

YOU need to talk to the DR.
