Hi all,
After being exposed for years to different kind of molds in the basement, I am now super-sensitive for molds and their spores.
I have this problem which I can't solve; clothes which holds mold spores.
When I wear new organic cotton clothes then I feel normal, my skin is normal, no itchy symptoms, clearly thinking, no depression and more. When I get exposed to molds then it gets into my clothes and from there it keeps outgassing, because molds feeds theirselves with dust-mites. First the itchy symptoms, then not clearly thinking anymore, fatigue, after a while depression and more. When I put the clothes off then the symptoms go away in minutes. When I go into the shower and then put the clothes on then it starts again; first itching symptoms and then the rest.
Now the biggest problem; I can't remove the mold spores from the clothes! When I wash the clothes then I get even more reactions after it. I think my MCS is responsible for this as well. Apparently the molds are not elimated in the washing program? That's my guess. I can't wear the clothes after washing. I have tried different things but with no luck.
This is now going for more then 1 year, I have kept buying new clothes to solve this issue. This is ofcourse not a solution. I have lost my job a few months ago and now I am not be able to buy new clothes anymore.
In general; is there anything I can do to reduce my molds sensitivity? I use activated charcoal but that does not help. The only thing that helps is a antihistamine medicine, which blocks the symptoms for a short time (not all symptoms).
Hopefully someone has some tips for me, any help is appreciated!
