I knew I was becoming sicker and sicker. A chemical spray was put into all my air conditioning ducts, without any ventilation or properly admistering it according to the instructions on the bottle.
I spoke with a company representative and he said "maintenance had no business spraying this type of mold inhibitor spray into the a/c vent ducts."
I was told "it was safe" so I did'nt know I really should have left my one bedroom apartment for 24 hours.
Because of the inhalation and bodily reactions of the chemicals in it, I now have a disease that was diagnosed and recieved medication to help, hopefully.
The disease diagnosis is : Chemical Pneumonitis. I am taking medicine that my doctor prescribed yesterday.
Doxycycline twice a day, and a dose pak of methylprednisolone. There is severe inflammation in my lungs and I hope I'm better by the time next Wednesday arrives , at which time I will be re-checked for this.

Mold !
I have lived back here at my former apartment building since June 26th 2013.
Ever since, as I walked into my bedroom and back out again, I smelled this moldy smell.
I reported it to management and they got right on it, but have not done away with all the mold, as it's in the ducts and most likely our whole building ! The vent over my bedroom door was covered in black mold on the inside. Yuck ! This was/is very dangerous.
Not only that, I took a picture of the gapping hole while the vent was off.

The vent and the crud from the duct has been cleaned as of today ! But the mold is still there and in my other two a/c ducts, also! Currently, I'm trying to push the management into getting this serious health issue taken care of !
The company bought a new shop vac with a HEPA filter and also sprayed a type of mold cleaner into the duct, which has made me very sick with a lung disease named chemical pneumonitis.
I don't know how often this will need to be done, and I hope the management company will get on this before someone else 'dies' and is blamed on a pneumonia or heart attack cause of death.
Really it most likely was the mold in our a/c ducts ! They have never been maintained properly as far as anyone knows.
