how do i get my parents to take the fact that we have mold in our house seriously? my mom thinks its fine because she “grew up with mold” and turned out okay. but i think it’s causing me health issues

I’m going through this shit rn. I only lived in the “new” house during the summer but my mom lived there year round and she couldn’t figure out why she has horrible rashes all over her body. Found out it was mold. Now she’s spending well over 300k to get rid of it

yea #2 isnt wrong they wont get in trouble but the government may offer assistance in removing the mold from the home. Especially depending on your area… Mold can lead to several life long complications and its genuinely something you do not want to have to recover from… I suffered from mold poisoning as a kid and its ruined my body as an adult…

This sounds awful but if you can please go to your doctor and advocate for mold toxicity screening and explain your situation. This can be really hard to get past but you will feel a little better afterwards
