[quote=Anonymous]When my residential AC unit stopped working, it dumped water all over the place.  This isn't uncommon.  Water leaks are an invitation to mold.  In addition to being an easy way to spread mold spores from room to room, an AC unit that's going haywire can create a temperature difference that creates condensation.  Condensation = a breeding ground for mold.  We live in a humid climate that is naturally full of mold spores.  Any assistance from dysfunctional equipment just gives them a boost.  Mix this with a few weeks of high heat and humidity and you get mold.  This isn't hard to understand.

What I don't understand is the outrage.  The visible mold was addressed quickly, the facility was thoroughly cleaned, measures have been taken to control the moisture levels and inhibit further mold growth and the situation is being closely monitored.  Pretty much anyone who can be has been alerted to the issue, and there has been a sincere response to the concerns of the parents/teachers/administrators.  What more are people hoping to receive at this point?  Magical anti-mold fairies?  [/quote]
