We had a cyclone hit two weekends ago and had significant roof leakage. We have a metal roof and a ceiling with nothing in between. Now our ceiling has mold on it in a lot of places, primarily in the living and dining areas in the front of the house.
It is high humidity this time of year, and we don't have heat or a/c so our windows are open all the time. There's nothing we can do about that. It's the end of rainy season, and everything molds this time of year, but it's usually a white fuzzy mold that washes off easily. The ceiling is covered in black spots.
I'm so exhausted and overwhelmed right now by my entire life. I don't have the bandwidth to also wade through all the conflicting internet advice on how to deal with mold in my house and make a plan for what we should do. I just know mold is bad news and I need to do something. Will someone please hold my hand and tell me exactly what to do?
Relevant info: we live in a developing country so mold remediation services aren't an option. It needs to be a DIY kind of thing. We do have access to pretty much any kind of cleaning stuff we may need.
Also should we all be taking anything to help with detox?
