I am having part of my lung removed in 3 days due to mold exposure in an apartment building. You should never make comments on what a person should have done unless you have been in the situation yourself. I was in an apartment for 6 months and I stayed sick. When the doctors figured out what was making me sick I pulled the blinds up in the apartment and found black mold around the windows. The apartments ONLY sprayed the windows with bleach and told ME to do it every 2 weeks. I was too sick to do anything! It's not that easy to just move. You have to have money to move, pay a deposit, etc. I did not have the money for that because I had used all of my sick days at work and was not getting paid for the days I was not there. I have been sick for 2 years now and my life has completely changed. Along with all of the times in the hospital, trips to the many different doctors, losing my job because I missed too many days, stacks of medical bills.....I feel like there is poison in my body. I hurt when I wake up, I cough up so much "fungus" out of my lungs that I throw up. I take more medications than my 90 year old grandmother. The worst thing is that nobody cares.....nobody wants to hear about mold!
