The smell, very bad yesterday while running intense heat into cavity above shower stall, has disappated, or so it seems. So if it was from that leak drying doesn't mean the actual mold is gone, unless heating kills mold, which I don't think is so. I'm concerned when we close the gap, and replace the vent, it could smell again from just air moisture that would get in. Thought about spraying in a borax solution, and redry, but it would be hard to get it all the way back, or thoroughly saturate the area, especially the underside of roof, where I see an unknown white whatever.
Anyone wiser than me about mold have any ideas? (living where I do, I should be very mold wise, I think I try to ignore it, it's so omnipresent!)
