An Australian woman is warning others that mold in a house can lead to devastating medical complications.

Amie Skilton did not know when she moved into an apartment in 2016 with her husband that she had a genetic vulnerability to mold that could bring about serious 🏥Health complications. She was soon to learn, according to an Australian website report published by the New York Post.

“My brain was fine and my body was fine,” Skilton, now 42, recalled, News.com.au reported.

That did not last long as she lived in an apartment in which water was leaking from the shower under the carpet.

“I started getting sick, noticeably sick, about two months in,” she said. “It may have taken that long just because it was over summer and it was really sunny, we always had the windows open and we never registered that there was a leak at all.”

Due to her genetic disposition, a “systematic breakdown” took place.

Her weight went up; her brain function went down.

“Some days I couldn’t figure out how to get dressed. I would look at clothes and … just be really confused as to, like, how to put them on,” she said, noting that she had trouble remembering simple things.
