Why does my water look rusty in the spring—and what can I do about it?

I have unexplained health issues. Is it possible that mold is making me sick?
Yes! Mold toxicity is a serious health risk. Never disturb black mold. Many types of mold release mycotoxins.

Air filtration that relies on a filter like HEPA only traps some of what is released in the air. The rest continues to circulate. The … [Read more...]
