very sorry to hear about your illness fucknuckle. i hope you make it through all of this. this thread has really opened my eyes to something i didn't think would even be a concern of mine. you can damn well assure yourself that i'm not going to be taking any chances in the future.
also, if you don't mind me asking, how well is/was your overall immune system working at the time of infection and incubation? i mean, were you exceptionally healthy or unhealthy?

I have just returned from my doctor this morning and I have been found to be suffering from very high levels of Toxic molds.
Differences asside, I wish you the best.

Until this happened I was a very healthy person. I very rarely got sick.
In fact a person could say I was a the top of the health game.

I don't really know you or believe in a god, but I feel absolutely horrible for you. My thoughts, hopes, and prayers go out to you though. I really hope you get better.

Im sorry to hear of your illness. On the good side, there are many good treatments available if you catch it in a relatively early stage like yourself. It sounds like you are not hospitalized or anything severe so you can probably come away from this without any long term damage. Like you said, let this be a lesson to people that if you are sick and suspect it may be due to your hobby, let the doctor know right away. I will be sending some positive energy your way in my meditation tonight.

This is terrible, man. I sincerely hope you recover and come out all right in the end. 
What caused you to start suspecting mold was the cause? Like creeping symptoms or marking off all other explanations?
It would be helpful, I think, for all of this community to learn from your experience and what tipped you off about this.
Stay strong, man. Best wishes. Fuck this parasite up, eh?

Hey man I hope you feel better. I used to do water damage restoration and mold remediation, and harmful molds will definately fuck you up. Even wearing a space suit and a respirator the mold would still fuck me up, I could feel it hit me like a freight train. The three months I did this type of work I was constantly sick, I had major sinus and respiratory problems. glad I quit that job. get well soon.

Yeah Man I am feeling better. The doctors found that I was very allergic to some type of unidentified Mold. My lymph Glands are starting to go down. I also have made my bedroom as sterile as I could. My diet as been changed and I have been diagnosed with High Blood pressure. But all in all I am not dying. My body is in recovery and I will be back to normal soon. Heavy Mold exposure can be a bad thing
Life will be a pleasure as it once was

This is an incredibly valuable thread, therefore I bump it. May nobody make the mistake of smelling mold or any contamination for that matter. If you think it might be fucked, ITS FUCKED! Throw 'em in a trashbag, without opening 'em and get them the hell out of your house.

This is the second case I have read about on these forums of a member getting sick after inhaling (or being around) contaminated cakes. The chances of getting sick from growing is very slim, but the risk is very real. When something contaminates, do not try to save it, do not try to open it, do not try to smell it, simply throw the damn thing away. A doctor visit costs much more than a new set of jars and a funeral is even more expensive.

shit man i have:
extremity jerking,
Headaches,
Slurred speech,
Anxiety/depression - confusion, short term memory problems
Ringing in ears and balance problems.
So do you recon i should go down to the doc. cos i havn't been into mycology for very long (6 months) and have never ingested wild mushrooms, but i have been into contact with many, taking one or two samples of what i though were "actives".
So the thing is do you think that i could have some of these simptons because of mushrooms or maybe just something else?

Tell your doctor about it UKShroomHunter. After reading this thread I would be halfway out the door if I noticed these symptoms...
Black mold was found growing on the cielings of several local public schools. It was on the news, kids were getting sicker every day from the mold. First they thought it was the shitty lunch food, then they thought it was the rusted lead water pipes. Only after careful testing did they find black mold was the culprit.
