play ground wood chips???????????????????

Just my two cents worth ......... mold spores are ubiquitous. You cannot escape them, at least not on this earth. Some molds DO cause problems ....kind of like some plants are nasty, but there are a lot that don't make for trouble. Wherever moisture and organic material coexist, the spores will grow. Imagine what the woods would be like if every tree, leaf, twig, needle, seed, cone, and branch were STILL there. Bless the fungi - for they shall set us free.

They are starting to recycle tires and shred them into mulch for landscaping and parks. Because the tires have a "shelf life" of hundreds of years this is actually a good idea finally. HH

Yeah, I've been around it all my life and nothing has happened to me (I?ve made it to a ½ century already). It's always been here and we have always lived around it. From what I understand the mold hype was created by Sharks (lawyers).

Don't sweet it, being around it just straightens our resistant. I?m taking about the normal everyday mold we come in contact with, not the extreme cases. Obviously don?t inhale dry clouds of mold.
