This morning, I noticed a pinkish mass oozing from a crack on my kitchen wall. I froze instantly. The strange substance looked both terrifying and disgusting.
Immediate Action
Since I rent the apartment, I called the landlord right away. He arrived within thirty minutes. He glanced at the mass, seemed irritated, and said calmly, “It’s just old insulating foam.
Nothing to worry about.” He wiped some off with a tissue, put on gloves, and left quickly.
Growing Doubts
His rushed departure and refusal to explain further made me uneasy. Something felt off. I decided to investigate on my own. I snapped a photo and sent it to a biologist friend.
The Expert’s Warning
Hours later, the biologist called back. He said it looked like a fungal colony with mycelium or possibly parasitic insects living in the insulation.
He explained such growth is common in tropical or poorly ventilated spaces. It might have been growing for years. If untreated, it could seriously harm respiratory health.
Taking Precautions
I left the apartment immediately. Since then, the landlord hasn’t returned my calls. I keep wondering — was it just mold?
Why did he rush to hide it? What else lurks inside that wall? This discovery terrifies me.
