so a few weeks ago i was tidying the alcove under my desk that is stacked full of books. never noticed any mould in my room before apart from a bit on the windowsill, but when i moved the books i was horrified to find that the whole wall behind my desk is black with mould :O
so i erm, might have googled it (only briefly as i knew i would scare myself stupid) and it said that it can cause issues for people with diabetes- like my partner who was also staying in my room :/ luckily my partner has moved out now so that has eased my worry a bit, at least they will be ok, but im worried about how harmful this mould is to me and anyone else in the house.
my mom came in the room the other day (shes a neat freak and i think she would likely be diagnosed with ocd if she was assessed) and noticed just the tiny bit of mould on my windows and she was absolutely horrified, so i am absolutely dreading what she will say when i own up about the whole wall of mould under the desk. she and my dad are absolutely going to hit the roof- they're always moaning that i dont open the window (...spider fear :blush:) and about my room being full of clutter/untidy, and i know i'm going to get blamed for the mould because of the clutter and keeping the window shut.
practically speaking, i've shoved the books back where they were and got a dehumidifyer thing (think its basically stuff in a tub that soaks up moisture in air). but i could really do with some advice from you guys. i cant google about the mould myself as i will flip out and be unrational about it for a start :weep: so can anyone tell me any more about it and what i should do..?
