Help! House mold!

Come clean my house, pedant!!!

basically the pointing is the work done to tidy up the masonary to make it shed water better.

longterm solution: contact landlord about problem

Yeah, the pros do use Kilz as part of the whole mold removal process. However, they also go into places such as the ventilation system and the attic to figure out where the origin of the mold is and so maybe getting professionals out to inspect the mold and clean up all traces of it from your house might be the best possible option here. Try to get some of your neighbors involved -- ask around for which place(s) are the best bets for heating & A/C repair. And while that might not seem connectable to your mold problem, many heating & A/C repair places do mold cleanup as well.

That's what I would do (and indeed HAVE done), anyway. You might want to explore a different avenue. But no matter what you do, please refrain from wiping the mold away until you're well protected -- face masks, gloves, that sort of thing. All disposable, all disposed as carefully as possible to prevent from the spread of contamination. For your own good.

Take reasonable precautions, but it's highly doubtful that the mould can harm you.

I have a mouldy bathroom due to lack of ventilation, general coldness of the room and an ancient tumble drier pushing condensation into the wall from the other side. Bleachy water keeps it at bay until I can afford a new bathroom.

Mould is, however, a problem in the American south where hot humidity, carpets and air conditioning work together to get the little sporelets way deep in the mix. My mum suffers from a mould allergy whenever she is in her carpeted, air-conditioned flat in hot, humid Florida.
