Behind the Scenes: Mold Questions

We're having water damage issues due to two chimney leaks, and although we're now hiring for chimney repairs, the damage done to our inside walls had been going on for a long time. Our garage and basement are full of mold. I've asked this question to mold specialists before, but unfortunately have yet to recieve a response...If mold spores move thru the air, doesn't that make it possible to be walking on them, and then walking into my house scattering the spores throughout my home?? Should we be removing our shoes before coming into the house? Thanks so much for any advice you might have. My roommate seems to think this is no big deal, and I can't seem to make him realize that it's a very big deal. He's always getting headaches, and I've had my fair share of them, as well. We do both smoke, so I can't really say if the mold has affected our lungs. There's really no sense in mold removal until the cause of the leaks are repaired, which we just found out won't be until November. We moved in 10 years ago, into a home built in 1948. The leaks were showing at this time, but he's one of those kind of people that lets things go for way too long, until they're a full blown disaster. So frustrating! Thank you so much for your time.

Wishing you the best

I just learned that my son and I have been exposed to mold in our attic for the last seven years. I have been losing hair, short term memory issues, hives, angiodema, left side swelling, high inflamnation , vit b deficient, we both had pneumonia jan 2017, I now have the mold smell coming out of my pores and my breath. I am chronically fatigued and I've lost all joy in life. My son has asthma and constantly has breathing issues. We have left our home and everything in it. We are now living in a hotel. I really don't know what the next step in the journey to our recovery.
