this March 2019 article From the mirror you claim that “the black mold in your home can cause terrifying hallucinations for demons and ghosts.” The idea that the circumstances that occur naturally in the inhabited places can actually be the cause of the aforementioned rings are always good to consider and explore, but in this case there is no evidence that this is true.
The article appears to be a public relations company by a London -based local services company. They also seem behind the following main headlines:
However, this is not the first time that the claim that mold causes a chased in the newspapers, so let’s examine some of the claims that are submitted.
The idea behind it is very simple. Mold is in your home and may make you nervous experiments. However, in order for this to be the case, the common molds in families must be the type that causes hallucinations, and this does not seem to be the case. The mirror journalist responsible for this article, Jin Lavander (2019) is writtenOne of the worst types of confrontation (From the mold) – Stachybotrys Chartarum – It is found in many homes in the UK, and can cause fungal toxins produced by respiratory problems, dermatitis, fatigue and nausea..
What is missing from the list of symptoms? This is true … hallucinogenic experiences!
Ergot fungi
The article goes on to mention that “Some types of fungi – especially rye fungi – have an anesthetic effect when consumed, which causes hallucinations and delusions. (Lavender, 2019). This is a type of fungus that grows on the rye crop, not the walls of your bedroom. To experience the potential hallucinations caused by this template, you will need to consume the affected rye. Symptoms of doing so are very dangerous, people include cramping, they appear, medicine and unable to speak, other forms of paralysis or tremors, hallucinations and other distorted perceptions, (Shoman and Uppala, 2000).
They are some dangerous things and a real danger factor … if you live in the nineteenth century. Consumer opportunities are small when modern agricultural practices are taken into account. Today’s food supply chain is designed and managed in a way that limits the chances of polluted products that consume the audience like this. Most of them are in danger today are livestock, (Shoman and Upala, 2000).
Patient construction syndrome
Then the Mirror article passes the idea of ​​hallucinogenic mold in your home with patient construction syndrome (SBS), saying “The phenomenon was first examined in 2007 by experts in the state of Maryland, the United States of America, who baptized it” patient building syndrome “, or” SBS “, and documentation of antiquities in the magazine” Neurology and Mineral Science “, (Lavender, 2019).
However, the search in SBS is due to the seventies, and the relationships of the reason why people seem to develop symptoms with SBS is unclear. To a large extent, the SBS symptoms are blaming on air and heating systems in open scheme offices, or conditions in the old -converted old buildings. SBS symptoms include: irritated/dry eyes, nose and throat, airway irritation, headache, skin/rash, (NHS UK, 2017).
Again, what is missing from this list? This is true … hallucinations!
Direct search in the ghost link of rotten?
The Mirror article then states that the 2015 research said for the direct investigation into the relationship between ghosts and mold. Lavender (2019) is written.A team of scientists from the University of Clarkson, New York, studied the links between betting and toxic mold. ”
Continue, Associate Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering Shin Rogers took samples of air quality in the buildings associated with alleged ghost activity. It is often reported in old structures that may also suffer from poor air quality … We try to determine whether some of the reported bets may be related to specific pollutants present in the inner air. “
Now this is interesting. Interesting until you realize that this research has not been published. We do not know what the results are or if the research has been completed. Perhaps we will one day, but until then, this can not be used as evidence that mold can cause painful experiments.
Remember to wonder everything – especially the mirror.
