Im not sure if this is the right place to post this but ive had asthma exaccerbations At least twice a week my doctor can't understand it, so he mentioned he wanted to test for mold so i came home and i searched high and low begind everything and theres mold coming from behind my bed (i pull it out every three months to clean but i gave slats so ysually between then hoover through the slats and i have a steamer i steam the glossed floor with. It's behind my headboard obviously hadnt noticed it my bed is under the window as its not a very large room and its the only place it would fit. My neighbour had a leak whuch falls on the back of my bedroom wall the size of the mold is the size of maybe an iphone 5 i have today used bleach to rid it, how do i ensure it stays gone will it have penetrated my headboard (real leather) if so how do i clean this

Is my doctor right that i may have a fungal lung infection then would black mold cause this..... I gave blood test on thursday (with another blood test for toxicity due to A different medication that treatment asthma called aminophyline/phyllocontin would be spread anywhere else and what can I use to ensure is not coming back also was bleach the best option as I don't have anyone that could come and clean over Easter bank holiday

Any help appreciated

The mould may be due to condensation from your house and will build up in an area of poor air flow, so typically behind wardrobes, drawers and bed heads.

Pull the bed out by a couple of inches, try and ensure good ventilation by having windows as much as possible and if that doesn't help get a dehumidifer.

Ok so leaving windows open whilst at work will help. It was caused by neighbours burst water pipes ive loved here 7 years and never had any issues i will pull it out a little further thank you
