I am in Texas, looking to move to a more arid state to have a better chance of avoiding mold since it is so bad here. I hear mixed things on whether mold is less prevalent in states like Colorado, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico…I am curious what state everyone here is in just to gather whether there is any truth to it being more or less prevalent in certain parts of the country. If you aren’t comfortable sharing, I’d appreciate if you’d comment just to say whether you’re in an “arid” state or not and still experienced mold illness.

I just ordered a test from them. How does this work? Do they sent you a lab requisite and you go get your blood drawn somewhere? Their website isn’t easy to navigate or understand.

I know you guys can only give me your personal opinion here, because there is no perfect answer. I am leaving Texas where a new build that I bought has made me very sick over an 8 year period. Any other place I have tried here has also had issues. In my experience, newer isn’t better. I am relocating to an arid state and have been looking at homes that are close to 100 years old and in decent shape. My gut feeling is that they “breathe” better and that they might actually be more safe for me to rent than another new build. I’d love y’all’s opinions on this. Thanks!
