Mold elimination: Mold elimination with bleach solution and a service to eliminate mold in your home is advised. It is important to wash linens in hot water and a HEPA filter unit may be helpful. A chest image, allergy testing and other diagnoses include hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). A virtual appointment with Healthtap may be useful to you and your PCP. Pulmonary testing may include a DLCO.
