My question is,, we have 2 chairs in our basement full of mold. Could it be coming through the vents and keeping me sick?. I literally sleep all the time and severe body aches
Brief Answer:
Mold shouldn't be the cause.
Detailed Answer:
I read your question carefully and I understand your concern.
Of course there are different types of mold and there may be variations in how they affect different people.
However I do not think that mold is at the root of your issues. That is because your symptoms are not commonly related to mold exposure.
The health consequences of mold are usually related to development of allergies and manifest generally with respiratory symptoms.
Let me know if I can further assist you.
