November Effect Poll

 

 

This was a poll that was conducted in the Mold Avoiders Facebook group in 2016. Following are the question and the responses from the group.

“The November Effect is a phenomenon where people who are sensitive to mold toxins and living in the northern hemisphere experience their condition getting significantly worse during the mid-fall (somewhere between mid-October to mid-November). These effects are especially noteworthy on days with dropping barometric pressure (e.g. oncoming storms); often are referred to as Mystery Toxin; and are especially problematic in certain locations. If you believe you have experienced the November Effect this season, please share the location. You may add items to this poll.
