When a Dream Home Turns Dangerous
In the late 1990s, Melinda Ballard and her family moved into a grand 22-room mansion in Texas. Soon after, they and others in the home — including their housekeeper and nanny — began experiencing unexplained health issues: their young son started coughing up blood, the adults suffered from memory loss and respiratory problems, and symptoms worsened over time.
A chance conversation on a flight led Melinda to a mold expert — and what he found changed everything. Their home was contaminated with Stachybotrys, a toxic black mold known to cause serious health complications. The problem was so severe that the family left the house within an hour of the discovery, abandoning the home and all of their belongings.
Their case became a national example of how hidden mold can devastate even the most luxurious homes — and how early testing could have changed everything.
