My family member developed it all over his body and then I developed it on my scalp and a spot on my face, both of us flared around the same time a few months into moving into a really moldy home.

I’ve seen various people on an MCAS Facebook page say they have prurigo nodularis, and I know mold can trigger MCAS. I also have suspected MCAS.

Also have seen a few individuals in a mold toxicity Facebook page say black mold caused their prurigo nodularis. Though no literature exists connecting the two it seems.

Trying to see if anyone in this subreddit has also been dealing with Prurigo.

Can’t be a coincidence that both my family member and I developed it at the same time in the same moldy home😭 .

Trying to find a connection to knowing someone who developed it while in a toxic mold home.

OCD can include contamination OCD (as it’s widely recognized as) but also other “subtypes” of OCD involving intrusive thoughts and/or compulsions and spiraling from them. Anyone diagnosed with OCD while in mold?

Hi,

An integrative doctor tested my vitamin and trace mineral/elements levels about 2 months after leaving a toxic mold ridden home (with chaetomium, stachy, aspergillus, penicillum, etc)..and then recently again but now it 9 months after leaving the home. I haven’t detoxed yet, just been on a low histamine diet for the most part.

I have heterozygous mthfr c667 ands slow comt (met/met).

The only levels I noticed dropping while in** the home that were tested for by a gp 3years ago when I first moved into the home were vit b12 and vit d.

My b1 (thiamine) 2 months after leaving the home was 138 (I was surprised it wasn’t loweras I’ve heard mold depletes b1) and

now 8 months later it’s 93. Same for the other b vitamins (also all trending downwards) and folate is 3.2 (low, lower than it was 2 months after leaving the home when it was 7.8)

Is this a common phenomenon where vitamins will trend towards borderline low even though you left the moldy home months ago? The only one that is back up in normal range is my Vit d.ferriton is also 15 now (with otherwise other normal iron markers).

Did anyone else develop an allergy to corn/maize, wheat, different nuts (ie peanuts, walnuts, hazelnuts), or sesame seeds from mold/mycotoxins?

Confirmed via IgE blood test. Did you know it was related to mold/mycotoxins in your home right away or did it take you time to figure out the connection?

What symptoms do you experience if so?

Did a doctor connect it to MCAS?
