Molds are ubiquitous in nature, and mold spores are a common component of household and workplace dust. When mold spores are present in large quantities, they can present a health hazard to humans, causing allergic reactions and respiratory problems. Some molds also produce mycotoiins that can pose serious health risks to humans and animals. While there are some occasions when mold can be helpful, like in giving a cheese a distinctive taste and look, or as a basis for a vaccine to relieve allergy symptoms, or cure an illness, mold in your home or commercial building is a health hazard.
These health issues can lead to neurological problems and in some cases death.
These sick symptoms and allergic reactions could be:
- itchy eyes
- a chronic cough
- headaches or migraines
- difficulty breathing
- rashes
- tiredness
- sinus problems
- nasal blockage
