How to Avoid Health Problems from Mold
Untreated water leaks and moisture will silently lead to the growth of mold, which is not only can be dangerous to your home or office's infrastructure, but also can cause critical long-term health issues for family and employees.
A dangerous mold to watch out for is the microscopic black or green fungi ("Black Mold"), a mycotoxin, or 'fungus poison' and is not to be confused with the kind of mold you often see on your shower tiles. Black Mold is not easily seen by the naked eye and is dangerous to your health. All mold reproduce by releasing tiny spores which are invisible to the naked eye. Mold can lead to severe damage by eating away at organic materials, such wood, drywall, and some carpets. But more importantly, mold can be an allergen (respiratory irritant) which affects different people in different ways. If you, your family members, or your employees even have short term exposure to molds, they might show cold-like symptoms, such as coughing, sneezing, nasal congestion, skin irritation, red or watery eyes, nausea and headaches. People who are exposed to dangerous mold for a longer period of time can experience more severe symptoms, such as fever and breathing difficulties. Mold exposure has also been linked to serious health conditions such as brain damage and lung disease. Children, the elderly, and other people who have asthma, severe allergies and chronic lung disease are especially susceptible to mold. Therefore, the indoor mold problem should be addressed immediately to maintain the health of the family and workers.
Signs of the presence of mold include:
- Musty or earthy odors.
- Visible presence of mold: slimy or fuzzy and is usually green, black, orange or purple.
- Excessive humidity.
- Evidence of past moisture issues that might have caused undetected mold growth.
It is very important that a mold concern should be investigated with a trained and experienced mold removing company. Do not risk your health by not getting it professionally investigated.
