Maybe stick a regulator on there as well so you can see what it's charged to and control the pressure seen at the end. I like the idea though!

And I'd make sure it's a filtered vacuum, not just a typical shopvac. Ideally use one with a true HEPA filter: look for the serial number and test results printed on the filter itself. Otherwise you just are shooting that mold back into the atmosphere of your house.

Look for (on the filter) test results at .3 microns are 99.97 percent or above and the serial number. Each HEPA filter will have a unique S/N I believe.

That might work, however, you'd really run the risk of disturbing the mold even more with what doesn't get sucked up by the vacuum, eddys around the nozzle etc.

Pantbrushes would work, just make sure they are soft and not the stiff ones otherwise you might end up "flinging" the existing mold up into the air.

/diy/ is a very slow board. This thread'll be here for sure. Thank you!

An old toothbrush might work better though!

They do make longer Q Tips but they are hard to find and you'd go through a lot of them.

Any mold needs a list of "ingredients": Moisture, mold spores, something to grow on, and warmth.

Fellow /g/entooman here. There is mold all inside of that thing. At least the "clean" side.

Long and tedious method would be taking some lysol and diluting (if needed) to spec, and using Q Tips to clean the mold off, going in through the grate. Chances are though, it's down in the unit, so it'd just keep coming back. Also, because it blows out, demold the entire room it's in at a minimum (with a cloth and fresh lysol this time..... or over 9000 Q-Tips, your choice), and it might be good to get the adjacent rooms as well. Mold spreads incredibly easily, and is toxic because it looks like black mold. Not a mold specialist though.

If it keeps coming back, call a mold specialist or a flood restoration company (They deal with mold all the time) to come tell you exactly where the mold is and if it indeed has spread.

If you have elderly or children or people with compromised immune systems present in your place, this last step needs to be done anyway. Time to call a professional, anon.

Sorry for your loss anon, and I'm glad the other 7 were fine, however you must look at how many people are unaffected by that same shot.

Many people don't realize that it only protects against one kind of flu. And natural causes CAN cause 25 year olds to die, just like babies can die from them as well. Try a google search, first.

>Also you just went against your own earlier argument by saying that herbal remedies are simply placebos
They still are placebos. Placebos are meant to trick the body into thinking that it is getting help when it isn't. This causes the body to release hormones etc that it normally wouldn't release. Sometimes these excretions are beneficial to whatever is causing the problem in the first place.

For example, the body/pituitary could be tricked into releasing more TSH, leading to the thyroid secreting greater amounts of T3 and T4. T3 controls/affects metabolism, body temperature, and heart rate etc. A herbal placebo could be doing the "tricking".

>That being said, I always choose the modern pharmaceutical option over a herbal treatment simply because I believe there is a greater amount of stringency in the quality control.
Good reason

>DIY antibiotics, like I said previously, while not advisable can be very interesting and in some case beneficial for those asking for the information.
Interesting, absolutely, but with this knowledge comes great risk of doing more harm than help to the body, or even other people and other children.

I'm having posting issues, I'm out for a bit

Give /diy/ an example from a recognized *scientific* database where it talks about herbalism as a science. Try pubmed.org.

>many of the first medicines were discovered by isolating compounds from natural sources that had been used to treat diseases.
Absolutely. And expanded upon. We aren't using many of the "first medicines" because they've been overused (eg penicillin.. Except for MRSA sometimes) and because they simply don't work nearly as well as modern medicine, as real science has proven.

Yes, all known strains are at BSL-4 facilities, the CDC in the US, and VECTOR in Russia. Let it be known that I was using smallpox as an example. Substitute measles as a better alternative.

Absolutely put a bandaid on a cut, don't waste the doctors time with that. OP however specifically mentioned antibiotics. A thread about how to /diy/ bandaids would be more appropriate. While we are on the topic of /diy/ness:

There is a reason you use polysporin compared to /diy/ alternatives, is there not?

I will as long as anons such as yourself don't infect the rest of us with smallpox and the like.

Oh wait. That already happens because of unvaccinated idiots running around with unvaccinated children.

There is a good reason doctors get paid for what they do. Go suck on a lead block because it's on some obscure internet page that said it'll cure stupidity.

Placebos. Most of the time the human body can do amazing things all by itself. However, there are times when a fully trained and fully qualified medical professional must help it along.

>THERE ARE THINGS YOU DO NOT /DIY/ AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM.
This. Don't try to do a medical professional's job if you haven't had the extra 12 to 16 years of schooling/instruction that is required to get those letters after your name. RN, OD, etc and especially MD doesn't mean "I graduated highschool and watched a crackpot youtube video about home remedies"

Good point. And I meant his kids. Thanks anon.

>>405195
It is absolutely a result of overuse/inappropriate use of antibiotics. However, that's not what this thread is about. Using a DIY method of "healing" just means people are taking placebos.

Save them and use them to hold paint in if you have to paint a wall or something. If you use latex paint, it'll peel right off the sides/bottom if you let it dry completely. It's what we do for Habitat for Humanity here.

namefag related. diy remedies are the cause of the extreme prevalence and existence of many different strains of many different viri and bacteria.

OP is probably one of those idiots who don't get his/her kids vaccinated and put the rest of the population at extreme risk because hurr durrr 0.000000000000000000000001% chance of mental disease. Mental defect is more common in birth than it is a result of vaccinations.
