Mold, Health, and Consumer Rights in Virginia

In this episode of the Virginia Consumer Podcast, the hosts discuss the regulatory issues affecting Virginia citizens, particularly focusing on the health impacts of mold exposure and the inadequacies in current testing and remediation standards. They share personal experiences with mold-related health issues, the challenges of navigating regulatory frameworks, and the importance of accountability in governance.

The conversation also touches on the broader implications of these issues and how those of us who were sick during the pandemic may have actually suffered from mold exposure, not COVID, especially if you live in a new construction home.
