It cannot be seen by naked eyes. They
exist in buildings with low humidity levels. Places
with low cellulose based materials also experience mold
growth. Some of the symptoms of allergic reactions to
exposure to tritirachium sp include; asthma, irritated
or watering eyes, dripping nose, coughing, headache,
sore throat, chest burning, dizziness, and memory loss
among others. The mycotoxin found in tritichium sp is
poisonous and therefore can disrupt cellular process
that can affect the body. These reactions can cause
the above effects or bring about opportunistic infections
, rashes and skin infections, joint pains, bleeding
in the lungs. If exposed to this toxin mold for long
then a person can develop cancer, and get infections
in the central nervous system.
The fungi can grow in basements of households
or around the edge of bath or shower or on ceilings
of the bathrooms. They produce spores that multiply
to become airborne and therefore cause respiratory complications
when inhaled. The severe damages that a person can experience
include, organ damage, gastrointestinal illness, bronchial
constriction and suppression of immune system. A person
can become sensitive to mold that occurs with short
time exposure to these molds. This can also occur with
repeated chronic or serious exposure. This varies since
it can be with one or more parts of the body.
The building needs a risk
assessment which is the process of knowing mold
existence in a building. It has basis of mold remediation
plan. It includes who uses the building and how it is
used. Photos may be taken to help in the monitoring
process. . This may also include the mold testing to
ascertain the occurrence of mold growth.
The remedy for mold reactions is excluding
the cause or source of the allergic components. One
can also take allergy pill or medication while trying
to locate the problem.. If the situation is worse or
continuous then a person may be forced to vacate the
place or location. Depending on the effect of the mold
exposure, a patient may be forced to use steroids as
a curing measure but should not be used for long since
they also have side effects. Mold testing, proper safety
gear, and cleaning are methods used to ensure areas
where people work are safe.
Some of the other preventive measures
of tritichium sp include; removing all mold growth as
soon as they are knotted, information about mold growth
should be communicated to individuals in buildings,
avail enough evacuation avenues that occupants of a
building can use in case of reports on mold growth.
Occupants should not be present during mold removal
especially those with severe effects like asthma and
nausea. The standard protocols should be provided like
those of the American
Industrial hygiene Association. |
