I just saw a TV show on the ills that can be caused by hidden black

old or new -- without having it tested first.

The mold scare is boob bait for suckers. While you're at it, have your
ducts cleaned, your water magnetically softened, your house liquid-sided,
your water heater tankless, and your septic tank fed.


I would agree that there is a lot of fiction, but I would disagree with
your attitude that it is nothing to be considered. There is a certain
type of black mold that causes permanent genetic damage in some people.
It is probably rare, but it does exist.

be demolished.
