Prescription Drug 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.

“Have you benefited from any prescription drugs since starting mold avoidance? Please mark the drugs that you have used and that you believe you may have benefited from at least somewhat here. Medications do not have to have been helpful for mold illness symptoms. They could be for anything. Feel free to add items to the poll.”
