Tammy Dean returns to the Never Been Sicker podcast one year after sharing her powerful story of breast implant illness and mold toxicity. In this follow-up, she opens up about a recent mold exposure in a home she was showing as a real estate agent that triggered a flare-up of symptoms—this time, in the form of a rare viral rash called pityriasis rosea. Despite being four years post-explant and the healthiest she’s ever been, Tammy explains why mold exposure is still a major concern and how her immune system now reacts to even small exposures.
