My mom is feeling bad after cleaning out a house with mold

Question

mom was cleaning out a house with mold and started feeling light headed so she stopped. now she is feeling dizzy, tired, and has been coughing up black and it has been coming out of her nose too

Answer 1

I would definitely have her checked by a doctor or take her to the ER.  There are several molds that can cause severe health problems.  Coughing up black is not a good thing.  

Also, it depends on where she was cleaning.  Legionnaires is commonly found in air conditioners and could potentially be deadly.  Aspergillis is another potentially deadly mold as well as black mold.

Don't mess around with mold from houses.  Get her to a doctor.  

Answer 2

make sure she's in a well ventilated place, and let her lie down. if it's not getting better take her to the docs. mold should never be cleaned unless you've got the right protective gear on (gloves, face mask etc.) as it can make you really sick

Answer 3

she has to go the doctors the mold can have really unhealthy stuff in it...

Answer 4

She needs to tell her Doctors to prescribe Lamisil anti fungal pills. This will take care of her illness. The pills are on the walmart $4 list. Dont delay with the meds ok?? God Bless

Answer 5

She should go see a doctor immediately. It could be a toxic kind of mold. Or she could be allergic to mold. Either way she shouldn't be coughing up anything black, nor should it be coming out of her nose.
