So if Dan was exposed to toxic mold by working at the Shadow Lane Health District then how could Wendy also be exposed? The answer is – from Dan. Wendy looked after Dan for four years in their home while he wasted away in bed. She changed his leaky bandages every morning as she made futile efforts to bring him back to health. She had to dispose of Dan’s clothes and bed mattresses as they too become infected with mold growth to clean.
