Tori Spelling says 'extreme mold' has thrust family into 'continual spiral of sickness'

Celebrity Tori Spelling shared an Instagram post on Wednesday in which she said that her family has been dealing with frequent illness due to "extreme mold" in their place of residence.

She explained that she initially assumed the health problems were the normal consequence of having children carry sickness home from school, but that turned out not to be the case.

"Here we are again at Urgent Care. We've all been on this continual spiral of sickness for months. Sick. Get better. To get sick again. Used to think… well that’s what happens when you have young kids in school. They just continually bring sicknesses home. But, when it gets to the point where they are at home sick more than being in school we had to reassess what was going on. Kids will be kids but when you have your youngest (10 and 6) so sick they are sleeping all day and say they feel dizzy even standing I knew something bigger was going on," Spelling wrote in the social media post.

But she said that she learned that their rental residence has a mold problem.

"Enter Mold inspection! Thx to Sean at Pacific Scope Inspections who came out and discovered extreme mold in our home," she wrote. "The pieces all started to fall into place. Has anyone ever been thru Mold Infections? You just keep getting sick, one infection after another. Respiratory infections. Extreme allergy like symptoms too and like my poor Finn skin rashes as well. As we sit here today in Urgent Care … watching everyone getting swabbed and first up Finn with Strep throat," she said, apparently referring to her 10-year-old son, adding, "and high fever of 103. We now know that when the house was labeled a health hazard and not live able that wording was FACT. We now GET IT!"

Spelling noted that the family will need to move.

"It's hard to just uproot a huge family especially in midst of all feeling so sick and in bed. But, we now will vacate the home asap. Looking for an @airbnb or @vrbo or hotel till we can even grasp what to do. We are just renters so looks like moving is in our eminent future as well. Grateful we have renters insurance. We'd be lost how to tackle this without," she wrote.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, individuals, "especially those with weakened immune systems, can develop invasive mold infections days to weeks after exposure to fungi that live in the environment."
