RE: Virtual Box/Machine

Somehow my VM was reset to the original day it was created 7 months ago. Is there anyway to reset it back to yesterday? I lost all updates, passwords, programs, everything.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I got a report back from a lab on a house that supposedly was remediated but cannot decipher what it means. Is it normal mold? It is bad mold? Is it dangerous? Any help would be appreciated very much! Thank you! Walter

Spore Name Description

ASPERGILLUS VERY COMMON INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MOLD. ONE OF THE MOST COMMON MOLD TYPES FOUND

WORLDWIDE. FOUND ON DECAYING PLANT MATTER, SOIL, FOODSTUFFS AND LEATHER, ETC.

RESPONSIBLE FOR TYPE I ALLERGIES (HAY FEVER), TYPE III HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS, SOME

SPECIES THAT ARE CAPABLE OF GROWING AT BODY TEMPERATURE ARE PATHOGENIC TO HUMANS.

CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TOXINS, BUT TOXIN PRODUCTION DEPENDS UPON THE SUBSTRATE THE

MOLD IS GROWING ON. POTENTIAL OPPORTUNISTIC PATHOGEN.

CHAETOMIUM COMMONLY FOUND ON A VARIETY OF SUBSTANCES CONTAINING CELLULOSE INCLUDING PAPER AND

PLANT COMPOST. IT CAN READILY BE FOUND ON THE DAMP OR WATER DAMAGED PAPER IN

SHEETROCK. THE THERMPOHILIC, NEUROTROPIC NATURE OF THIS ORGANISM SUGGESTS IT IS

POTENTIALLY AGGRESSIVE. NO TOXIC DISEASES HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED TO DATE.

CLADOSPORIUM COMMONLY FOUND ON DEAD PLANTS, WOODY PLANTS, FOOD, STRAW, SOIL, PAINT AND TEXTILES.

COMMON CAUSE OF EXTRINSIC ASTHMA (IMMEDIATE-TYPE HYPERSENSITIVITY: TYPE I). ACUTE

SYMPTOMS INCLUDE EDEMA AND BRONCHIOSPASMS; CHRONIC CASES MAY DEVELOP PULMONARY

EMPHYSEMA.

PENICILLIUM COMMONLY FOUND IN SOIL, FOOD, CELLULOSE, AND GRAINS. IT IS ALSO FOUND IN PAINT AND

COMPOST PILES. IT MAY CAUSE HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS AND ALLERGIC ALVEOLITIS IN

SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS. COMMON CAUSE OF EXTRINSIC ASTHMA (IMMEDIATE-TYPE

HYPERSENSITIVITY: TYPE I). ACUTE SYMPTOMS INCLUDE EDEMA AND BRONCHIOSPASMS; CHRONIC

CASES MAY DEVELOP PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA.

NON-SPORULATING FUNGI MANY FUNGI DO NOT FORM SPORES USING ROUTINE GROWTH MEDIA AND UNDER NORMAL GROWTH

CONDITIONS IN THE LABORATORY. SPORES ARE VERY USEFUL TO HELP IDENTIFY THE FUNGUS.

NON-SPORULATING COLONIES ARE OFTEN A RESULT OF GERMINATING MUSHROOM SPORES

(BASIDIOSPORES).

NON-SPORULATING FUNGI CAN POTENTIALLY BE ALLERGENIC, IRRITATING, OR

CAUSE HYPERSENSITIVITY PNEUMONITIS, AND DERMATITIS.
