1. Both get into your system without being felt. If you are living, working or studying in a moldy environment there will be mold spores floating in air. Every time you breathe, these mold spores move through your nose, sinuses and into your lungs. Each of these spots is moist and warm. Ideal environments for mold spores to set up housekeeping. From these locations spores release mycotoxins (mold poisons) that get into blood stream and spread through body.

2. Both attack your immune system so you can’t fight of normal, everyday diseases. Mold kills white blood cells. These are body’s primary defense against invading bacteria and viruses.

I am an alcoholic. Sometimes hardest thing to admit. My parents were both alcoholics. Does this mean I have copied their behaviour or was it genetic predisposition? Who knows?

You give me some, and together, let's at least try and give each other benefits of our experience, be it good or bad.
