Damp, Moldy Homes May Cause Depression
Headline: Damp, Moldy Homes May Cause Depression
"Basically, the risk for depression went up about 40 percent among people who lived in moldy homes," said Shenassa. "And to the extent that there are the same types of mold in Europe as they are in the U.S., the results should also apply to U.S. households."
I guess I'm cynical but I hope they didn't spend too much money on this research. Can anybody name a person they know who wouldn't be depressed by a damp, moldy home? :-\
P.S. Members of the Munster Family or Addams Family do not count... ;D

J. Fuckin' Christ, 'Laska! :O
You're right though, it is kind of hypnotic, like a Lysol mantra. I just clicked on a sticky frame a couple of times (or so I thought) and the thread started breeding spontaneously. It's pretty embarrassing... :-[
Speaking of the "sunny Southwest," my wife 'n' critters are in Scottsdale, AZ this week, chillin' (so to speak) before school starts next week. Ironically, it's nearly as hot here in Los Angeles, where a prolonged heat wave has cranked up the AC and stretched local power grids to their limit...
Again, I'm not sure how I created that "flashing" alert effect. If I can't clean 'em off, I guess I should report myself... :'(
Yep. ;D

People who don't like their living arrangements and/or home life are less happy.

I guess Senator Craig should take up residence in a men's restroom... }:D
Re: Damp, Moldy Homes May Cause Depression
I can relate..from my window prob./heavy rain I think I may have a mold prob. I also have worked in a horrible warehouse, everyone (nearly) working there complained of mild nosebleeds & I think my allergies may have really taken off from there.
Re: Damp, Moldy Homes May Cause Depression
Ummmmm, don't damp, moldy homes also cause health problems??? I wonder what genius decided this needed to be researched::)...
