A 28-year-old woman bought a new home in Central Ohio, and it marked a significant milestone in her life. However, the events took a scary turn for her as she ended up getting sick after moving into the new home.
Sara started to experience symptoms like sinus infection and congestion. They occurred for a few days and then stopped. But after six months, she got irritation around eyelids, which was alarming to her.

She was struggling with the symptoms and wasn’t sure what to do. Then she got access to the previous homeowners’ documents. They left the home with furniture, and their medical files revealed they have similar eye issues.
Sara posted her experience on TikTok, saying she travelled to Cancun and her eyes healed. So it signalled towards something being wrong with the house.

Netizens told her to check her home for mold. Thus, she found out that the whole house had mold, from where she exercised to the basement and shower area. Mold is not visible, but its impact is terrifying.
Moreover, Sara felt like she was going crazy because her husband did not have the same symptoms. Women are predisposed to certain diseases and autoimmune conditions.
In reality, mold is toxic to humans and pets, especially the black molds. It is often found in water damaged homes, and the spores can release mycotoxins. They can result in respiratory issues, skin, and eye irritation.
Those who have weak immunity also suffer more from these symptoms. Sara found out her Ohio home is uninhabitable now, and they may vacate the home.

It’s not that simple to fix mold; it is expensive and they already have legal issues with the previous owners. Sara states that the mold has taken over health and finances for her family. Now they have to take care of both their health and finances. They didn’t do a diligent check before buying the home in Ohio.
It is always recommended to get a thorough mold check done when you’re buying a new home. Mold can be neurotoxin and result in autoimmune diseases with similar symptoms as Sara.
