Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Your boyfriends house needs to be thoroughly cleaned as it seems to predispose to many infections. Black mould most commonly is aspergillus niger which is commonly found in moist regions and its spores can cause a variety of illnesses depending on the immunity of the person exposed to it. Lower the immunity, severe the disease. Aspergillus can cause asthma which is usually allergic, sinusitis, lung infection etc.
Dizziness needs to be examined by a GP nearby you and causes of it needs to be ruled out. Most common causes being low BP, hypoglycemia, anemia. Please get investigations done to rule out the above mentioned causes.
Mice act as vectors for various bacterial and parasitic infections.
I suggest you get the house thoroughly cleaned to prevent exposure to infections.
Thanks
