Finding the Mold and Moss

Whereas the mainstream person can do this with their eyes, I do it with my fingers and with my sense of smell. Mould and moss are very unique to the touch. Mold feels a bit rough and moss is slimy. They also have a distinctive smell.

When it comes to mold and moss, I have to be on a constant watch for them around my food and in my bathroom. I am constantly sniffing my refrigerated food to ensure that these two evils have not invaded and I use my fingers to confirm any suspicions of their presence.

When I had enough vision, it was easier to spot mould and moss but now that my sight is so bad, my fingers and my nose have to do the detecting.
