Mysterious Water on Carpet

Bleach is very likely to bleach his carpeting, which will look bad forever.

I've had plenty of wet carpets in my house, from little spills to bathtub overflows, without ever any mold growing. I've also had plenty of wet basements, with mold growing only once. It stopped growing when the basement dried out, and didn't cause any medical problems at all, not even sneezing.

I suppose we d>> I came home from a week-long vacation to find the carpet in the doorway

I have to admit it. My friends and I had a big party at your house. We didn't intend to cause damage.

Sure. Can a garden hose spray to the west without spraying to the east?

It still is safe if handled properly. Just touching it won't do any harm.

Thanks for the reply. I do hope you follow up with the findings.

So many people post here asking for help and then just disappear and we never know the outcome. You good manners are welcomed.

They have to put those disclaimers in government reports. All they're saying is that there is no evidence. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Anyway, your original question questioned the lethality of mold, not wheezing in dank dungeons. It is possible, evidently, to keel over dead without wheezing, respiratory infection, cough, asthma, etc.

I still consider asbestos safe. My house is covered in it.

Well... I guess the toxic mold "got the best of" the "original poster", since he never got back to us. :) I wish people would get back to the group and let us know what the outcome was, he had many great suggestions given to him.
