Mold
Mold causes neurological impairment and is not good for your lungs. If you have mold exposure, you need to first find the source and do your best to eliminate it, if at all possible.
Wash all bedding and use peroxide -- a nontoxic bleach substitute -- in your wash. "When in doubt, throw things out." (my mantra for many situations).
When you are done with mold removal, immediately shower and change into clean clothes. If possible, irrigate your sinuses. (See also: Sinus Infections and Ear Infections)
Afterwards, expect to feel lousy for a few days. Watch movies, play games or otherwise keep yourself entertained and try to not start trouble with other people. It's probably YOU, not them.
Some things that help treat mold: garlic, hot peppers, oregano, oil of oregano, salt, quinine (available without a prescription in the form of Tonic Water -- I recommend the sugar free version).
Additionally, while recovering from the clean up effort, you may need adrenal support. This includes yams, licorice, good quality salt, caffeine, lysine and vitamin C.
If you have been exposed a long time and are obviously neurologically impaired (such as being prone to obsessive behavior and inability to let things go), read through the stuff on this site about healing the brain. This is a good place to start as it links out to a number of other key posts: Neurological Stuff
During the holiday season, Christmas decorations are a significant source of mold exposure because they get stored for about 11 months out of the year. I threw all mine out years ago and it is one of the best moves I ever made.Remediate any mold in your home and/or place of work. Avoid walking through underpasses when possible. They tend to be icky.
