I explored Fort Getty a few day ago, and the next day I felt like I had a cold. It only lasted a day, but I wonder if it could be from the mold. Anyone encountered the stuff before, and how dangerous is it? I helped restore an old church in North Kingstown, and the basement was full of black, white, and green mold. We wore heavy duty dusk masks and I never got sick. Please, post your experiences.
Getty has a unique smell, there is also virtually no airflow, we have come across our fair share of mold :wacko:
duude, i went there last weekend, and the next day i also had a wicked bad cold.
Same thing happened to me at Ladd last week. I couldnt breath for a week. I would definetly recomend wearing one of those painters masks at least. That is some serious asbestos and mold in these places.
Not so much mold, but asbestos. I got really sick from photographing a large mill fire & subsequent cleanup back in 2005, a lot of asbestos involved with that one. Face masks are a must for attics and basements when you don't know what's down there.
hells yea if im climbing down any rat hole i'm defintly bringin a respirator there worth the fifty bucks.... enjoy you're aids if you dont have one
lol i hate for legal reasons why i cannot say but i bet ive had my share more of asbestos than ANYONE here :ph34r: but we did use those little cheapo air filters from like home depot with the rubber band around the back, still didnt help with all the itchyness i had tho afterwards...
