The relationship between seeing spirits and toxic mold

See spirits and toxic mold | Could they be related?

Clarkson University Civil and Environmental Engineering professor Shane Rogers has an idea of ​​what that really is behind these visions.Second Rogers, when mold is reproduced, it creates airborne spores that can then get into your respiratory system.

The 2009 study indicated that there could be a certain relationship between toxic molds and symptoms such as movement disorders, delusions, dementia, balance and coordination disorders, even with seeing spirits.All this translates into this strange sensation, something creepy, that we can feel in those kinds of places.

Rogers said that:

«I've had an interest in ghost stories, paranormal exploration and shows and other things for a long time» and added

«Back in graduate school watching these programs, I thought: 'God, some of these places you are going to enter are quite dirty and moldy.I wonder if there is any kind of connection »

See spirits or inhale fungi?

So, do we see e Spiritus or do we breathe fungal spores that rot in an old building due to inadequate ventilation and because the air is in poor condition? Either thing doesn't seem too nice, right?

The truth is that being in a spooky place could prepare the environment and have you susceptible enough to believe you even saw Casper walking in front of your eyes.

Spirits vs.Dirt

To date this connection between spirits and toxic mold that arises from dirt and neglect is only a speculative level and there is no scientific evidence to support it.

"Appearances are widely reported phenomena that are not well researched," says Rogers.

"Often They report on older built structures that may also have poor air quality.Similarly, some people have suffered depression, anxiety and other effects of exposure to biological contaminants in the indoor air they breathe.We are trying to determine if some occurrences declared may be linked you give to specific pollutants that are found in the air of indoor spaces «.

But, as we mentioned, prolonged and continuous exposure to mold can not only be the cause of seeing spirits.and much more dangerous, it can be the cause of strange and very dangerous diseases.

Some people who suffer from this exposure are diagnosed with mental illnesses and often ignored by To believe that their symptoms are invented.Certainly, the toxins that are released from mold are so peculiar and strange, and their effects can be so varied and wide that it is very difficult for doctors to give a diagnosis of mold poisoning.It makes treatment difficult and exposed people do not cease to suffer its consequences.In a 2011 interview, Dr.Ritchie Shoemaker came to claim that mold toxins can become more toxic than pesticides and even more than heavy metals.ados and that may affect even a large number of cells in our body.

But, once again, man's hand makes things worse. In the 70s a fungicide was created to fight crop fungi. Certainly I end up with most of them, however, those who survived became highly toxic and resistant molds.That same fungicide would also be applied, in the 70s, to the paint, trying to avoid growth of mold on wet walls of public buildings or schools.

With the creation of this fungicide, as we said, it allowed the uncontrolled growth of some very dangerous fungi and the result of this is that we are currently more exposed than never to these substances so harmful to our organism, and much more predisposed to see spirits.

As you have been able to read, the subject of mold is no joke and goes beyond seeing spirits.Physical consequences can go from chronic fatigue, migraines, muscle cramps, numbness and tingling to cardiac arrhythmias and insomnia.In short, a wide list of symptoms and this is because mold spores can settle in many different parts of the body.
