In today’s episode, Dr. Carrie Jones is joined by Brian Karr, Indoor Environmental Consultant and Co-Founder of We Inspect. They discuss all about mold and mycotoxins in your home and what you can do about it. Key Takeaways: Mold Symptoms: Mold affects the whole body and determines neurological issues, brain fog, skin problems, hair loss, chronic fatigue, gut issues, and many others. Looking for Mold the Right Way: If you walk into a house looking for mold visually, you will not find it because mold is hidden. Mold inspectors use generic methods of determining if you have mold, which is mostly ineffective. They should be looking for additional signs of mold and use various approaches. If you've been told your house is fine, yet you are still sick, try finding other inspectors and methods of checking the possibility of mold exposure. Brian’s Practical Advice: If it's not wet now, it doesn't mean there is no mold. Just because the water dried out doesn't mean that the mold would just disappear. Think through wherever you're living and consider the tiny drops that might have happened in places you didn't think were a big deal. Empty all the sink cabinets that you have in your house. If you see staining, bubbling, cracking, or anything that doesn't look consistent with how the wood was installed when they did it, there is a high chance there is some mold issue.
