Ok so i've lived in this rented house for 2 month so far and i just started noticing that we might have A mold problem. Mostly on the ceiling and stuff. It's black. I read online that this stuff can kill you and lead to all sorts of infections. Now i have terrible ocd and im a clean freak. I think what caused the mold was by me not opening the windows after a long hot steamy shower. The reason i don't open any windows is because i dont want bugs to come in. I am not unhygienic. I clean the floors and everything with bleach daily. I'm surrently crying and accepting that i might die soon because of this. I have nowhere else to go. We're sort of broke right now. Should i just accept that i will die soon if i keep showering with black mold on my ceiling? I callled my parents and they aren't doing anything about it. They told me to just clean it with bleach but that's what i always do. They say i'm overreacting but i'm a clean freak and i don't wanna die yet. I believe i have so much to live for. My symptoms are extreme fatique , sore throat, watery burning eyes, skin rash etc. i'm dying omg i can't. I know this site is not a good place to ask this but, i go on here a lot and just wanted some help please. Is black shower mold really that dangerous?

You should call a professional and consider buying a screen for your washroom window so you can leave it open without bugs getting in. It's not too uncommon for mold to form on bathroom ceilings if there is not proper ventilation. This type of mold takes a very long time to cause adverse health effects, which is a silver lining.

Currently broke right now. How much will that cost? How long will it take for mold to kill me? I'm crying. I need to shower tomorrow for work in the morning So , i'm gonna have to be exposed to the mold for another day. I tried killing it with bleach many times. I took a chair stood on it and scrubbed it hard with bleach and it still is there. It's really only on the side of my ceiling next to my window but i'm scared that the more i shower there the more i breathe it in

Just washing your ceiling and buying a screen shouldn't be expensive at all. I'm sure there are cheap screens out there for less than $20. Some people will come in and look at the mold for free and suggest ways to fix it but they'll charge you, if you want them to fix it for you so just look around.

Just go to the doctor. Mold is dangerous and you should protect your shin if you are trying to clean it. The best thing to do is call your rental and let them know so they can fix it. It's they house so they have to get it cleaned.

Repaint everything with a paint containg a mold killer (a healthy one like a silver based or a zinc pirythion based). And after that ventilate your house on a regular base. Mold means high humidity and non-moving air in the house.
