For years Sue Phoo's health was unravelling and doctors were unable to diagnose a cause — but when specialists took swabs inside her house Ms Phoo says the results were startling.

For nearly three years, Sue Phoo didn't know why her health was unravelling.

"I started getting this extreme fatigue and I was tired all the time and to get through the day — it always hit around 2:30pm — I just needed a nap," she said. "I just kept going back and forth to the doctor and getting every test done … I felt like it was more than just being a working mum with no family support.

It wasn't until a dietitian asked Ms Phoo when the last time was that she felt well, that she and her specialist started to connect the dots."He then asked me, 'what happened around this time? Was there any significant change in your life?'," Ms Phoo recalled."Straight away he asked me, 'is there any mould in the house?'"And that's when he said, 'I want to do a test on you'.

Mr Sager says mould, for people who have CIRS, can severely impact their quality of life and ability to be productive. "People that have this chain are more prone to developing chronic health issues that involve systemic inflammation. So if they're exposed to mould, for example."Ms Phoo underwent a nasal swab and a blood test and, three weeks later, returned results that Mr Sager said were consistent with mould exposure and common CIRS symptoms.

Australian doctors have been ignoring this issue for years, or telling people they have a 'mental problem'. Many had to go overseas for help. Near impossible to get diagnosed or treated for this in Oz, and expensive.

Budget plan: Australia to open borders next year to bring back migrantsTreasurer Josh Frydenberg said he believed in restoring migration to the levels seen before the pandemic as soon as the government’s health experts declared it possible. Liberal government is now pro-migration? What a weird time. Great idea. Make sure your profession has substantial barriers to entry though is my advice. happy to swamp the country with low paid immigrants to assist the ponzi scheme
