Moody attic

[Apydomis]

it’s supposed to say moldy attic?

It all seems to have started when I worked for a company that did mold remediation in 2010 in 2011. After I quit that job I think there was a few years where I felt better.
When my wife and I bought our house in Montana, I discovered a little mold here and there, but I just took care of it when I found it.
Then, about six months ago, I was poking around in the attic and discovered a little bit of mold was growing. I meant to take care of it, but I was really busy with work. Fast forward to about two weeks ago, I went up there because I was, curious about a smell in our upstairs closets.
This is where I discovered a huge mistake that I made, and that was that I put the bathroom fan exhaust pipes into the soffits. That little bit of mold was probably the start.
When I went up there recently, I found quite a bit of mold around. I was using a good flashlight and could see on the back wall where there was a lot.
My whole family has been sick for three weeks or so with a respiratory sickness, but doesn’t seem to be going away. I feel that it seems more like an allergy than a cold though.
My oldest son went to the doctor, and was prescribed antibiotics. A week and a half later I don’t see much of a change.
Last night I went up in there to see if there was any changes, and I’ve discovered that there was possibly some leaks that will have to be fixed as well. And in those areas there is lots of mold that I didn’t notice. The mold seems to be going pretty strong.
So all in all, it’s going to be a huge project. But in the meantime, it seems like my family could be sick with some mold poisoning. Does anybody have any comments, or experiences?
What I don’t get, is with the attic sealed from the house, how would that mold get into the house. Looking around the house, there are no real signs of mold either.
Thanks for reading, I hope it’s not too horrifying for you!

Sounds like a nightmare!

Not sure how old your house is, ours is a 1961 ranch (Maine). I cannot believe how mold grows in the shower and window sills. I've never lived anywhere where it was such an issue.

The shower, it grows like mad on the original tiles. On top of that we have this pink stuff that grows which I found out isn't mold but a bacteria. Never saw anything pink in my shower on the west coast, but both places we've lived here had/have it.

I actually purchased a Lysol product today to help with it, which I hate chemical products like that, but mere scrubbing doesn't seem to help.

There has been a lot of sickness in recent weeks, @DaJavoo has had a bad bout of it and some others at the C&B. 

In the UK they're calling it the "vomiting virus". It is actually called Norovirus and was first discovered in America in the 1960s. 

It is also the time of year for respiratory conditions. 

I don't think the mold in the attic would have caused it unless they've been up there in the same space with the mold. If it is in the attic then presumably the attic is shut closed.

Just another thing to fix around here! Moody, versus moldy… ha ha?

There’s always something it seems. We have a little bit of that pink bacteria that grows in our dishwasher. So we dump vinegar in once a week if I forget to do it, the dishes, smell bad.

Thanks for your reply! I hope you stay healthy
If I could figure out a way to blame this on Biden, I would!
