Here"s my take on "black mold" after reading all sorts of horror stories about it and scientific rebuttals...

If you are in the SMALL minority of humans that are allergic to it, it will bother you. For the rest of the population, we could roll around in the darned stuff and not be bothered by it. I don"t believe it grows IN (infects) humans, it"s just an allergy thing for a select few, and MILLIONS have been spent to get rid of the darned stuff that only truly bothers a TINY segment of the population.

Sorta like women thinking they need to be like Angelina Jolie and get their breasts hacked off, when medical science says that it makes sense for less than 1% of women.

But, hey, there's certainly nothing wrong with a sanitary AC, and if your wife seems better after the fact, it's ALL good!

I wonder how our forebears survived, living and working in close proximity to their farm animals, with all the mold and rot and fungus and spores that go with hay and straw and manure and moisture or in sod huts, or houses with thatched roofs or made of straw... Don't suppose there was any "mold" there do you? And, in many cases those folks were healthier than us and lived longer than we will in our sanitized world!

BTW, if you fear nasty-looking black mold, don't EVER have an ice cube in your water or other drink at a bar or restaurant!

In a past life I spent some time as a tech servicing those things and they are as much of a biology experiment as they are an ice machine!

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit ... [Read Article]
