God people claim some weird shit on their health insurance. Today it's mould. Prescription mould.
I have so many questions.... Are they claiming medication for a mould-borne illness, or are they claiming a mould-based medication?
Mould based medication. They're not covered for it anyway, so the answer is no, but it took a but of detective work
Like penicillin?
Not penicillin. I have absolutely no idea what it could be for, as it's just described as "mould"
Oh wow, that's wild!
I don't usually know what medication is for. Sometimes I can guess - I recognise many chemo drugs by name, for example - but in this case I have no idea
Had a bit of a think about this. 'mould' was once a generic term for topsoil - I wonder if the person is doing broad spectrum microbiota therapy. Like, rebuild your biome with topsoil to cure allergies, intolerances etc. like using hookworms to treat gluten allergy.
