Mold?
Help! Save My Dreads
oh no! that's terrible... yeh i've heard of people having some crazy reactions to mold, but nothing quite that intense. some can even notice it as soon as they walk into a building if the problem is bad enough. but i hope your friend was able to get some help with her sitch!! as far as my dreads goes tho, that's why i'm kinda tempted to think what's in there is not mold.. i mean again, they don't smell at all. plus, while i'm not overly sensitive to mold or anything and don't have allergies that i know of.. you would still think that if it was in every dread on my head that i would have had some kind of reaction to it by now. but by looking at it... it sure seems like what i'd expect mold in dreads to look like. gonna try your process tho - just ordered the wax b gone fingers crossed this goes well! thanks again, much luv <3

when i was living in the cabin in tulsa when we moved in the back porch was full of moldy clothes the mold sent chevy to the er like 5 times the 1st month i was sick too then we finaly got it out and buned the whole pile..unfortunately chevy went out then leaving it burn and the wind shifted i thought i was going to die i couldnt breathe my eyes burned i couldnt see the only way i could get a breathe at all was stuff a blanket in my mouth and take tiny tint sips of air through that
just momments before they got home it shifted again and cleared out so u couldnt even smell it no more but it was nasty im amazed i didnt eb=nd up in the hospitol
i also knew a girl that lived near me her mom was jehovas witness and kinda crazy too anyway the girl was always sick and afraid to tell hrr mom she showed igns of schitsophrenia and more i found out it could all be caused by mold which her house had alot of but she couldnt get her mom to do anything about it..it wass sad she just was getting worse and worse
some molds are very toxic its not likely that the real dangerouse kinds wil grow in your dreads but any mold exposure can caue infection s that dont respond to antibiotics and can affect your health in strange ways u wouldnt expect even cause halucinations
Valrie said:SE is right, you probably have linty wax residue in your dreads. If it was mold you would most certainly smell it and if you were sensitive to it then you would also get sick (I usually get sick if their is mold residing in the same room as I am, even if it's a little bit at the opposite end.)
