mold on the wall is harmful

When inhaled, mold spores may germinate, attaching to cells along the respiratory tract and causing problems in those with weak immune systems. Some spores release potent toxins; for example, Stachybotrys spores can cause very severe symptoms and lung lesions in children. Mold spores are also important allergens.

algae is harmless though

Dr. Joe was just being funny. He knows the difference. Mold is also very serious in the elderly (it is why they smell the way they do) and in immume compromised people. This summer I went through extensive mold mitigation in my bedroom. An entire wall was full of mold behind some wall paper. My tanks jack the humidity up almost ten percentage points compared to the rest of the house. A dehumidifier is in order.

It's my fault...I need to get a brighter light bulb in my JOKE sign. (he's too serious for his age).

On a serious note, ( C Major) what did you use on the mold?
