My sister and her 3 children moved into a trailer.. Ever since they moved in the kids and her have been sick off and on all the time.. She moved the kids dresser and beds and found black mold.. Could that be the reason they are sick all the time?? Please help me to solve this problem... thanks

Sounds very likely this could be your problem. Black mold is often the stuff you don't want around your living quarters. It can cause various degrees of stress on breathing, headaches, sinus problems and so on. Some people just can't tolerate it.

You need to investigate what is causing these walls to be damp. Could be coming from the roof edge, around window frames, or maybe the ground too high at the bottom of the outside wall or just too much humidity from cooking or bathing.

Items next to a wall such as dressers don't allow for ventilation of the wall area.

Check the humidity in your trailer and try to keep it no higher than 55%. Using a kitchen or bathroom fan can sometimes help this out.

Well my newphews are now in the Hospital.. The doctors dont know what the cause of them being real sick is... Do you think it is the black mold causing them to be real sick??

That is exactly what put me in the hospital 3 times in May '04!

Get the mold cleaned up as soon as possible.
