I am in Florida and I was in for Mold houses. The first when I was in was the worst of all that had black mold, growing in the closet, and it wasn’t found until it came behind back. All the dressers was hidden, but I was getting sick all the time and that happened to reactivate my Lyme disease which I had in 2002 activated, Epstein bar and cytomegalovirus so very bad mold is very bad I was so sick in that house I didn’t even know what was happening to me and my whole personality changed I’m still sick eight years later burn to every Western medicine doctor been to every naturopathic doctor. Nobody knows what to do with me because I have so many things going on but it made my immune system so bad that I activated my lime that I had in 2002 and I was successfully treated. I have peripheral neuropathy sensory neuropathy, damage, my eyes in my ears damage to my stomach, I lost my hearing is damaging my eyesight I’m in pain chronic pain 24 seven always had a stuffed up head always stuffed up in my nose. I’m absolutely miserable and it has changed my personality or I don’t even know who I am anymore and I wasted the years in western medicine because they’re even clueless about mold. When you mention it to them they look at you like you have three eyes. They are so far behind and it’s listed in the national institutes of health papers in the 80s talking about how bad black mold is, it amazes me in 2024 that these doctors are so ignorant and then they throw at you. Oh you need to antidepressant you’re depressed and you have psychological issues. No I’m suffering inside my body 24 seven itching with welts all the time unable to eat foods, I used to eat unable to socialize because fragrance bother me. It’s a miserable life and everybody needs to be really careful about the exposure especially when they have young children and they don’t know that the mold in their house the AC is the number one problem you get it in there you’re in trouble the first house it wasn’t in the AC unit is came up in the whole block of all the buildings. The water came up from underneath the second house was obvious, but they painted over everything and within a months time of moving in there with them, knowing that I had mold poisoning already they covered it with paint and the stories go on and on, but it’s a very devastating disease
This has certainly been my experience. I was left housebound and bed bound a few years ago after a vaccine injury, which left me with ME, MCAS, POTS, the works! I was living in a damp house at the time, but not with obvious mold. I have slowly improved, but MCAS and related digestive and POTS were debilitating. This year I moved back in with my parents because I was struggling with care, and their house isn't remotely damp. I've had a significant improvement in POTS, I can now sit up in bed a few hours a day, and make 2 trips downstairs instead of 1 - but that is also due to energy levels with ME. I had no idea the mold was a factor until I had significant improvement. Also as a result, my histamine responses are generally much lower.
Any experience with someone having many symptoms of adrenal fatigue, but testing shows adrenals are fine? This is my experience. Also, thank you so much for these videos. I finally feel understood and not alone. I have many many symptoms of MCAS, CIRS, leaky brain, leaky gut. The most debilitating symptoms for me currently are the mental health symptoms. I have been hopeless and lots of suicidal ideation. I have a beautiful family and a beautiful life that I am not enjoying or even partaking in these days. Thank you for shedding some light and some hope.
Thank you for this video!! Here's my main issue: "invisible" rash and allergic formication, "crawling, burning insects feeling". Once I had a rather major mold exposure and now i can't go out of my house anymore without getting a huge "crawling/burning formication type reaction" cause i'm reacting to the slightest amount of mold, from a forgotten apple in the fridge to armospheric spores. No antihistamine has worked...i have to be extremely clean, change my clothes very often, add ammonia or other products to my laundry and so many other daily protocols. Symptoms get worse at night.. I need to go back to my allergist asap, but if anyone relates or has solved this through immunotherapy or whatnot... just post your comment :)
You probably need to look into grapefruit seed extract, garlic extract, oil of oregano, or olive leaf extract. All kill the bad bacteria and fungi, but won't harm your good bacteria. It's been working really well for us. Also, take a good multi-strain probiotic, but you should watch out for the three strains that worsen histamine reactions. Stay far away from sugar and processed foods as well. They add so much fuel to the fire. Try to get sunlight also. It's a natural mold killer and we all need the vitamin D. You may have to stay away from the five allergens as well, but I'm not sure about your exact case.
This is me, toxic aspergillus mold exposure, I almost died. Now burning skin head to toe, hair loss, swelling eyes swelling feet and ankles , hives, brain fog, lower basal body temp, cold skin, on and on. Now Im sensitive to building materials now no atter how nice a place is, pets, any glade plug in type things, cleaners, who knows what foods, its on and on. Ive been sleeping in my car at times. I really need help for a way out of this to gwt my life back. My kids need a healty mom. Ive been sick for years now and dont know how to heal my body. I need a way to access help and I have nothing now. Thank you for understanding this. I have hope its possible to heal
Is there a link between MCAS and infection ? Im asking because in the ME/CFS community, where most of us landed bec of an infection, many got Histamine issues later and sometimes MCAS and I wonder why.
Mast cells are strategically located in sites where our immune system require quick help ie skin, lungs, gut. They play an important role in the early stages of mounting an immune response. Not only can bacteria, fungal and viruses trigger MCAS so can viral, “particles”. makes you wonder about vaccine induced MCAS??? But to answer your question. Active Viruses and viral particles can trigger Mast Cells.
i have severe idiopathic hives memory loss and there is black mold growing in my cuboard neighbours flat upstairs after seeing this ill ring my dr and dermatoligist i have fibro also thankyou for this
Hi I have a single question I am very bad histamine intolerant. We’ve got mold in our house. The person that came out and tested it said that it was fine to be there but it’s a lot of mold that looks like pictures of brown mold and black mold on the walls I think it should be removed but that man told my husband it’s fine. What’s your opinion on the mold in the house as an expert?
I recommend testing your house independently. You can purchase a test kit to collect dust samples and then have those samples analyzed. You can do a free on line VCS test if you google it.
My inflammation markers are very high on blood test. Should I test for mold in my home with a home swab test? I've been told i have the gene from my alternative doctor

Dr Hagmeyer ur spot on... living in humid south Florida, mold is everywhere!!!!

This is true medical practice. I really appreciate you functional medical professionals. :)

Damn, I lived in a mold house for most of my life and I’m only 22. Also he right about diet, diet can help so much but won’t fix everything

You failed to mention intense dizziness!! To the point you cannot walk ambulate!
Sorry about that! I’ll be sure to add that next time 👍🏻
…great video Dr. Handwaver…I take Serrapeptidase to keep any mold biofilm under control…
Thanks for sharing
Good video
Thanks for the visit

I’m pretty sure I have mold toxicity. I’ve already had genetic testing and know I’m homozygous for the HLA gene. What tests would you recommend?
Unfortunately this Is a very Complicated question. Follow up with a functional medicine practitioner is my best advice.

Can histamine affect Interstitial Cystitis and Endometriosis?
Yes it sure can! So can fungal overgrowth, estrogen dominance, and high oxalates.
My inflammation markers are very high on blood test. Should I test for mold in my home with a home swab test? I've been told i have the gene from my alternative doctor
If you have a clinical history of it or recent exposure and symptoms.
i got fatigue brainfog fibro all these synptoms got idiopathic hives my life is a misery
this caused the death of brittany murphy
Infectious disease MDs do believe in "long" Lyme. But mold and MCAS are still mysteries. Sigh.
