YouTube interview (July 22, 2024) in which Aaron Hartman, MD discusses challenges in detecting hidden water damage and mold exposure: he emphasizes that standard mold inspections/tests can miss non-obvious, non-wet damage and that patients can act as a "canary in the coal mine" indicating toxins. The discussion also touches on family/spouse involvement and difficulty getting buy-in for remediation.

But that's how sensitive the test is. We talk about remediation. Some people, when their immune systems are active, you need something that's fat sensitive. A typical mold inspector, and this is more for people listening, is not going to pick this up because it's not clearly visible. The water damage is not clearly visible. The boards, the floors aren't actively wet, there aren't actively dripping. And so it's almost like the person becomes a canary in the coal mine. And you know there's a toxin. Not because you smell it, because you see the canary is not doing so well and then you reverse engineer it. So what was the. With your husband? Was it. What was it? Because we probably steal patients and the spouses come into play. Like, how difficult was it to get buy in.
