How would you deal with mold?

My little home is completely shaded under old growth trees in Oregon, very beautiful but there's a price to pay. I'm only a few miles from the ocean and live in damp conditions. And it seems to be an unusually humid summer here.

So, I have a Japanese version of a mortor and pestle, a suribachi and I can't remember what the wooden stick is called.

The wood didn't dry properly after being washed and has mold on it. I mean, it just sprung out of nowhere. It looks like I need to do some work with bleach in general and I suppose the spores are in the air. But obviously I don't want to bleach the stick. So, I tossed it in the dehydrator after scrubbing it, and scrubbing it didn't really remove it; it's like embedded into it. Bummer, and kinda gross.

Any holistic treatments for mold under these circumstances? Thanks

Throw it out and get a new one. Maybe your house could use a dehumidifier to get rid of the excess moisture.

Okay! I needed someone to say something with common sense 'cause I was being cheap! ha ha

Just an FYI - check this guy out. Now there are very few doctors I trust. He is one.

So many illnesses are misdiagnosed as lupus, MS, lyme's disease, etc. when they are actually mold-bourne illnesses. Now I'm not a fan of antibiotics - I actually wonder how his treatment would be if he got his patients on raw foods instead of the antibiotics, but this is worth looking into...
