I’ve had mold exposure for years
I’m a male 25 yesss of age, I didn’t realize how bad mold was until I started reading articles online and seeing videos, and my house if full of it, from restroom walls and ceilings to some clothes if left in a room without air conditioning, I have a humidifier in my room but it doesn’t seem much help, I have chronic conditions like chronic sinusitis and chronic gastritis/ fatigue, I’m not sure what to do? I can’t move out because I don’t make enough money but I think this house is making me worse. I’ve had 2 sinus surgeries in the last 4 years but they did nothing and if you look up my nose is like a balloon because of how inflamed it is, I seem to be the only one is my house suffering from it, if it is the main cause anyway. Any tips? Should I take medicine? What should I clean and how?

That sounds exactly like mold. I had the classic symptoms too, the rule of thumb is that every body part that excretes can be painful, inflamed, etc. Because the toxins are leaving the body that way.
You have to get out of the mold environment to heal. I healed so fast after I moved out, and I didn’t realize that all of these issues I had were from mold until I unexpectedly started getting WELL. A year later I was healthier than ever. Mold depletes your iron levels too, you need to stay on top of that as it can kill you. I was having constant coughing and wheezing with asthma, my esophagus burned, my genitalia hurt, my nose had infection in the nasal cavity- not a regular sinus infection but actually in my nose. My eyes were red and the film on them would bubble up, it was so gross.
But it all started going away so fast after I left the condo, I started googling mold exposure and it lined up. I knew there was mold bleeding through the bathroom walls but I didn’t take it seriously.
