Listen to my interview with internationally recognized mold remediation expert, Michael Rubino @themoldmedic. 

Michael is a council certified Mold Remediator by IICRC and ACAC and a contributing member, sponsor, and speaker for the Indoor Air Quality Association. He wrote the book The Mold Medic: An Expert's Guide on Mold Removal. 

Highlights
✨How to identify mold in your home
✨What to do once you've identified mold 
✨Why all mold remediation companies aren't created equal- you have to do your homework!

Myths debunked in this episode
✨Mold is only found in older homes (false)
✨Mold can't grow in new construction (false)
✨Mold can only grow if there is current water damage (false)
✨Symptoms of mold exposure are the same for everyone (my husband and I experienced this myth, as we had very different reactions to mold)
✨Mold doesn't contribute to autoimmune diseases (oooh yes it does!)
✨Killing mold with bleach is safe (you actually want to remove it, not "kill" it)
✨All mold removal companies think to check HVAC units (most don't)

As we continue to spend more time at home than we ever have, I highly recommend listening to this episode for your own health and wellness. Your indoor air quality has a direct impact on your personal health and the health of your family members.
