Mold can be anywhere. It can be in the hvac system, it can be between the walls, in the attic, on the ceilings, in the crawl space, anywhere there has been a water leak, it can be in the air, etc. It can be visible and it can be invisible, but if you have a good nose, it will tell you that it is there. Mold can be very dangerous. I encourage anyone that sees or smells mold in their children's schools to contact the school board, do mold testing, tell the principal, tell the county and the state health department. Call the environmental people. Do not let up. The sickness that goes around in our schools could partially due to mold. True, many viruses just go around. But mold, if it is there will cause problems all the time.
The exposure builds over time, and one day your body just can't handle all of the toxins it is exposed to. Hives, allergic reactions, stomach problems, headaches, sensitivities to foods, and the like will occur. Try to avoid mold at all costs and if you see it or smell it tell someone, tell everyone, raise heck about it if you have to. Just don't be silent. It could be costing your children's and teachers and staff's health. Its a shame it is so prevalent in our schools and nobody says anything! Be an advocate today! It will help our teachers it will help our students it will help the administration in the schools.
