Lung Infection

Can black mold on a  resort bed mattress cause a lung infection?

Your response was very much appreciated. She has actually finnished the antibiotics for her lung infection but still has breathing issues.

Will still recommend a pulmonologist as they may be more of a specialist than the doctors she has seen.

My lady friend is 67, the mold experience was at a DR resort (Feb 19th). At the same resort she fell down four steps of a vendor beach shack that had no railings.

She has a concussion, wiplash, deep dissue damage. Had internal bleeding, think that has stopped now. I suspect even though exrays did not indicated broken/fractured ribs she may have hair line ones perhaps causing discomfort when breathing.

It has been a month and still seems to require a great deal of sleep. She has little appetite and feels nasious a lot. Do these kind of injuries take a long time to heal?

Many Thanks

Any exposure to black mold can lead to an infection of the stuff.  You need to see a pulmonologist for testing to see if you do have an infection and begin treatment.
