A woman living in 'damp' sheltered accommodation has hit out after finding mould growing on her toothbrush. Karen Pringle said she has tried to stop the mould growing in her home but it is now affecting her health.
As reported by Chronicle Live, Karen lives in the Gateshead Council sheltered accommodation property in Ryton with her husband Tony. She said she knew the bungalow was damp for the whole six years they have lived there; they have treated and painted the bathroom 19 times to try to eliminate the mould.
"Everything is spoilt," she said. "I thought it was bad enough when I found mould in my underwear drawer, but when my toothbrush was covered as well, I just thought enough is enough."
