I'd open the house up, get maximum circulation, run the A/C (or dehumidifiers), etc. before overreacting. Mold/mildew IS serious business, but I think your last post is the approach I would take...just my .02 worth. Good luck!

I'm on the coast south of San Francisco - Half Moon Bay. People from AZ come here to escape the heat. BTW, no one here has AC. I'm hoping a dehumidifier and turning up the heat is what's needed.
