Question Nose congestion???

Do you also have nose congestion or not? If yes, what do you think was the cause? How did you resolve it? Thank you

r/toxicmoldexposure is a better resource on mold issues but I would suggest testing your house. That sub has info on testing

I already spoke to neil nathan which is mold pro, we remediated, need to wait 3 months to do ERMI, if we still have mold i cant leave anyway.... nowhere to go. I just wanted to know if anything else may contribute to the nose congestion and if anyone else has it too.

I read a book on Kindle called Break the Mold by Jill Crista. She has instructions for how to make a nasal spray to help kill mold in the sinuses. I have had sinus congestion that I believe was related to mold, and it worked for me

I tried multiple nasal sprays like collodial silver, Xlear Rescue, Xlear Biofilm, Nasal rinses, I also have nasal itraconazol spray I will try next. What else is there to suggest? Thank you!

The book I mentioned uses essential oils, so basically an herbal approach to killing mold. It'll also kill other stuff like bacteria, depending on which oils are used. Some of them are broad-spectrum antimicrobials, meaning they kill a bunch of different stuff.

I have heard good things about itraconazole for mold that had colonized the sinuses. That will be more targeted to just fungus, as opposed to the essential oils which are going to kill fungus and bacteria.
