Should We All Be ‘#HouseBurping’?
The German practice of “#lüften” is gaining traction on social media. It may improve your home #AirQuality.
By Dorie Chevlen, Jan. 29, 2026
Excerpt: "Experts say lüften actually works. The Environmental Protection Agency recommends opening windows to reduce the concentration of volatile organic compounds [#VOCs] in the home, which are released by a vast array of household items, including furniture, mattresses, cosmetics and cleaning products. These compounds can cause adverse reactions like headaches, itchy eyes and breathing problems.
"According to Dr. Parham Azimi, research associate at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, there’s also reason to believe airing out a home regularly could help control household #mold. In his research, keeping windows closed correlated with a higher likelihood of mold.
"Dr. Joshua Nosanchuk, a professor and microbiology researcher at Albert Einstein College of Medicine and an infectious disease physician at Montefiore Health System, said that better #ventilation could eliminate many airborne toxins that cause people irritation in the U.S. 'Part of the problem is that we hermetically seal our houses. We don’t want the air conditioning to get out and we don’t want the heat to get it out,' he said. 'No one opens their windows.' "

I feel like the answer is oging to be "throw it out! now!" but my kid has been making cheese, and she noticed that one of the waxes had cracked, and opening that cheese, mold was growing.
It looks and smells (and, uh, tastes) like blue cheese to me, but it's likely not safe. Is there any reasonable way to find out what kind of mold this is, or to accurately characterize its safety?
Thanks!
