Mold Health Problems - Getting Sick From Mold |
|
When you first see mold in your home, you may be immediately repulsed by the look of the green or black fuzzy fungus. Growing rampant over walls, ceilings and treasured possessions, mold spores can make your skin crawl. But beyond the 'ick-factor' of mold is a much more serious threat, one that affects the health of your family. Mold health problems can be experienced well before you actually find evidence of mold in your home. Since mold spores can be airborne, you may be breathing in these toxic spores for months or years before you understand what's happening.
Since many signs of mold health problems can be attributed to other illnesses, you may not even realize that the cure to your illness lies not in a physician, but in a mold removal contractor.
Mold is considered a biotoxin since it is a biological organism and can be toxic. In order to live, mold breaks down and destroys whatever material it invades. It then releases spores, which are airborne and travel through your home finding more places to infest. These airborne spores are easily inhaled by you and your family as you sleep, eat, watch television and enjoy your home.
This inhalation and possible physical contact with spores leads to a long list of complications and mold health problems. Understanding these problems and realizing that the symptoms you are experiencing are due to exposure to mold gives you a clear direction toward their resolution. Symptoms and complications of mold health problems include: |
