Hi! I've got an ongoing problem that we can't figure out. I am EXTREMELY sensitive to molds. They affect me like no one else in my family.
Is that part of having a messed up immune system? I can smell molds before anyone else can, and it makes me really, really sick almost instantly with headache, sore throat, and if not remedied, my lungs really start to get irritated which leads to me having trouble breathing and/or needing medical care.

My problem is that in my family room, every so often (usually after lots of rain), I detect mold. Heavy, black mold. We've searched everywhere...we've had floor boards replaced even..can't find anything. But now it's back and I have a sore throat, can smell it and don't know what to do! I can't clean what I can't find. We've checked everywhere.

Does anyone else have this problem with a high sensitivity to mold? My lungs are bothering me as I type this. I live in my family room, only leaving there to sleep at night. What does it do to my system that makes me the only one who has such a severe reaction to it? Is it as serious as my body makes it out to be?

Also, would a good air purifier be enough to save my lungs from getting so bad?
Sorry if this is a little off topic. Thanks!
