There are companies that can test your house or the fire department can do it. You could also call your poison center for recommendations.

Many health issues: There are many potential health issues.Mold allergy causes sinus symptoms,asthma etc. Even if not allergic toxins from mold spores cause fatigue,headaches,coughing/trouble breathing,muscle/joint pains,poor memory/concentration,anxiety etc.GET OUT of your apartment! Most clear mold toxins so feel better after a few days away. About 25% can't clear toxins so need Rx. See https://tinyurl.com/u53jolg
