I have a few questions regarding the mold report posted here. http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001776-7.html To sumarize the report the following mold varieties were detected in the sample: Alternaria EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD AND UBIQUITOUS. . . . it is COMMONLY FOUND in outdoor samples. it is OFTEN FOUND in carpets, textiles, and on horizontal surfaces in building interiors. OFTEN FOUND on window frames. Cladosporium COMMONLY FOUND on dead plants, woody plants, food, straw, soil, paint and textiles. Epiccocum A COMMON allergen . Penicillium/Aspergillus this group of spores is considered COMMON TO INDOOR ENVIRONMENTS. COMMONLY FOUND in soil, food, cellulose, and also considered A COMMON CONTAMINANT of food. it is ALSO FOUND in paint and compost piles. . . . Unusual Mold Condition(s) Explanation: YES: One or more of the samples in this report indicates the presence of elevated indoor mold spores or colonies for these specific locations only. Unusual Mold Condition(s) Exists: YES - - - - - - - - - - - - - - OK, from reading the above, if the four types of mold spores that were postitvely identified in the sample are all common spores, how do we know that unusual mold conditions exist? LuLu, did the report give any numerical value to the number of spores found?

I posted the Mold Report in it's entirety, what was forwarded to me, from Larry Meyer (Poco Loco), Wolf_Larsen. I will direct Mr. Meyer's attention to your question, and hopefully, he may be able to give you further assistance?

Wolf_Larsen: What you see here is the actual report. The sample was exposed to fibrils from a fine tined comb,nothing else. It was not left open and exposed to local conditions. What's curious to me is that I observed more varieties than the report identifys. Also, the report was not returned to me as was a previous specimen. I had to call for it. Probably means nothing but makes me wonder.

Ok. correct me if I have this wrong: You ran a fine tooth come through your hair and exposed the sample medium to the material on the comb. Therefore, anything that showed up in the analysis was most likely present on your head. Where were you just before you did this test? Were you outside or inside? How long prior to this test did you wash your hair? (just an aside: at least we know that you don’t have ringworm ) I may be missing something here, but I fail to see the significance of this. If these are fairly common airborne spores, shouldn’t we expect to see them? aren’t these spores flying all around us even now as you and I sit in front of the ‘puter? don’t you think that at least some of the spores and pollen would wind up in our clothes, hair, beds, foods etc. This isn’t a pure, antiseptic, sterile world that we live in. There are microbes, yeasts, fungi, molds, dust mites, etc. swarming all over you right now!

I posted the Mold Report in it's entirety, what was forwarded to me, from Larry Meyer (Poco Loco), well could I forward some nude pictures of swamp gas that arrived in my mail box mysteriously, to you and have you post them ? 
but I fail to see the significance of this. yep
