No, I am not. Mold is more or less universally present in tropical countries. I am not at all sure what is being suggested by testing particular venues for the presence (or not) of mold. We obviously should not select places that are "black with mold everywhere," but how do you determine the threshold? Same goes for 1,000 other chemicals that we might all have issues with. My newly renoved room in Singapore had a strong odor of "new carpet" for example, Japanese hotels seem to have falling in love with "perfume machines," both are examples of things that give me an almost instant headache.
