Limbic activation

Mold exposure is described as capable of activating the limbic system through chemical and environmental pathways, not only psychological fear. Once mold cues are linked with threat, they can trigger feelings of impending death or extreme danger. Recovery is framed as decoupling environmental cues from traumatic threat responses rather than treating mold as harmless. Nervous-system retraining is presented as a recurring requirement for recovery from mold-related reactivity.
