“It’s getting worse every year,” said Wrigley resident Charlie Tale. “Because this springtime my family got sick. Annie has asthma, Savana has asthma and my little girl who is seven years old has asthma. They had to go to the health center to get oxygen every second day.”

Dealing with some issues from being over at my granddaughters and not realizing that the what we called animal stains was actually mold. It’s been a year and I still struggle to breath. I have taken some measure like Vitamin C and L-Lysine I have found very helpful. Lots of it. Black cumin seed oil also. Then I started rubbing castor oil and Frankincense on my chest to break up phlegm and congestion. It’s like having a super bad cold for months. But this is what has helped me. Also staying away from their home.
