mold!?

I had to go under the kitchen sink to mess with some stuff, and came out of there with insane asthma. It's clean; there's not a lot of things underneath - there was water damage and warping, and I paid someone to put a new shelf on the bottom - but just now I came out from underneath with the worst asthma ever. I'm faintly gasping after 2 inhaler puffs...

Rook says that he also had trouble breathing after looking for a car-washing sponge this morning.

So now I'm upset as it's the other side of the wall from Moomin's bed. Could this be the source of his nighttime allergies and asthma?

I think I need to call some sort of mold person... and have the wall or cabinet bottom or both torn out from the kitchen.

You're probably right. One thing to try would be to cut out the bottom of the cabinet (OK,have someone else do it) and check the area beneath it.

You might need to replace some of the drywall too. Let us know how this turns out.

Deb, who is an expert on these things because she knows how stuff works (not that you don't)...anyway, Deb is right. Drywall to be replaced. Also, sources of moisture to be identified and de-moisturized.

You might want to think about Moomin sleeping elsewhere.

And, you? Stop cleaning. Really. My coolio, executive, science guy husband does all the dusty cleaning.

I'm so bossy. But that's because I luff u.
