Avoid Health Risks from Mold

There’s a misconception that mold can only make you sick if you accidentally ingest it. In reality, you don’t have to have direct skin contact with a mold colony to expose yourself to health risks. Mold spores can fly around the area where the colony is, allowing them to land on your skin and get inhaled. There are negative effects that your health can suffer when you’re heavily exposed to mold:

• Skin irritation – some people have skin that’s sensitive to mold spores and their tubular Hyphae. This can result in redness and itching for these individuals.
• Allergic reactions and asthma attacks – When mold spores are inhaled, there’s a wide variety of respiratory disorders that can ensue. People with strong immune systems may not feel the effects, but other people can experience wheezing and watering in their noses. People with pre-existing allergies to mold cam experience more severe symptoms. The greatest concern would be for people with asthma. Mold can trigger attacks and make breathing very difficult for afflicted individuals.
• Neurotoxicity – Under certain conditions, regular black mold can produce poisonous mycotoxins. When this happens, watch out. Headaches, nausea and malaise are some of the milder symptoms of neurotoxicity. In some of the worst cases, bleeding and even cancer have been linked to mycotoxin exposure.
