Emily and Bobbi,
I agree with you. If this were last year and I had run across this article I would not be batting an eyelash about the tree. And yes, we are going to go ahead and get our tree this year and by 5:00 tonight my house will smell like wonderful pine! I am not a parent who avoids houseplants, etc. It's just that a Christmas tree is so huge that the idea of the mold being so present when we are just coming out of an exacerbation got me thinking. (This all started when I heard something on the radio about it yesterday.)
Anyway, just wondering what others thought about it. Sounds similar..yes, it's something to think about, but not an experience worth taking away!
