The control test should be a mold test kit left open on ground outside building and at least five feet beyond drip edge of room. Use same time (thirty minutes to one hour) that was utilized in indoor air tests for settling method tests. There should be no rain or snow falling.

Self-Interpretation of Mold Test Kit Results

The tester can then either watch test kits himself for mold growth, with self-interpretation of mold test kit results, over a seven day time period, or send mold test kit to mold lab immediately, or after self-observation growth period.

Here is how to self-interpret visible mold growth in mold test kits after seven days of mold growth---

1. If tester observes and count a greater number of mold colonies of any particular mold colony type (possessing same or similar color, shape and/or structural pattern) growing in one indoor mold test kit than in outdoor control mold test kit, then tester can reasonably decide that there is a possible indoor-generated mold infestation in area/location involved in that particular mold test.

2. If tester observes a particular mold colony type growing in a particular indoor mold test sample that is NOT present in outdoor control mold test, then tester can reasonably conclude that there is a possible indoor-generated mold infestation in area/location in which he conducted that particular mold test.

3. If tester observes three or more of same mold colony type growing in one mold test kit, then tester can reasonably conclude that there is a possible mold infestation in area/location in which he conducted that particular mold test, regardless of number of similar mold colonies present in outdoor control test.

Why is that conclusion possible? Consider this rat analogy: if there are only three rats living inside a particular area of one’s home or building, is there no indoor rat problem just because there are more rats living immediately outside of home or building?

It is time-cumulative exposure and body intake of even modest numbers of indoor airborne mold spores that makes residents or occupants sick from mold exposure. Because residents or occupants spend many hours per day indoors in a home or workplace, they are continually inhaling or ingesting mold spores.

When mold spores enter into residents’ eyes, nasal/sinus areas, lungs, stomach (eating and drinking food and beverages upon which airborne mold spores have landed), or open body sores, mold-spores, once inside body, can begin dangerous mold growth inside body because of abundance of body moisture and food to eat (people’s bodies)!

4. If tester observes three or more of same mold colony types in several or many mold tests taken from different areas of home or building, tester can reasonably conclude that mold species is possibly widespread in its contamination of tested home or building.

The most dangerous mold species to residents and occupants are molds that are omni-present through out home or building, thus causing widespread, cumulative mold exposure and body intake.

Warfarin (generic Coumadin) was actually used as rat poison. Large doses of compound caused rodents to hemorrhage internally and die. While doses for humans are relatively miniscule, dangers of excess bleeding are still a concern. The delicate balance of Coumadin in system is reason that many users will wear some form of medical alert identification. In event of an emergency or an accident, attendants can readily identify a Coumadin user and attempt to discern whether to avoid certain other medications that may interact adversely with Coumadin. Emergency personnel can also determine if Coumadin may be culprit.

There are many medical conditions and medications that can cause a situation or a reaction whereby a person cannot communicate. Conditions such as epilepsy, diabetes, food allergies and use of medications like Coumadin can be easily and readily identified by wearing medical alert jewelry with proper information engraved or stored. A small problem can become a large problem if someone takes wrong course of action, or no action, based on a lack of information. A small, attractive, fashionable piece of jewelry can help you look sharp…and save your life.
