How Mold In Your Home Can Affect Your Health

Trusted Health Products

Written By Meghan Belnap / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Mold is a fungus that can grow and reproduce in damp, moist environments. Many types of mold will affect the home, but some common ones include black mold, white mold, and greenish-yellow fungus. These molds produce spores that may be harmful to your health, as they can cause respiratory problems such as asthma or allergies.

It is essential to identify mold if you see any signs in your house to help protect your health and wellness.

Respiratory Problems

Mold is not just an issue for your home. Mold releases spores into the air, which you inhale, causes respiratory concerns and impacts your health. In addition, mold can grow on surfaces in any climate, but it's more of a problem in humid climates where mold growth happens more quickly because higher levels of water vapor are present.

Molds produce allergens that irritate the lungs, cause difficulty breathing, wheezing, coughing, or shortness of breath when exposed to molds.

Exposure to high levels of molds may also lead to chronic bronchitis or asthma symptoms. In some cases, people with weakened immune systems may experience life-threatening reactions from exposure to certain molds!

It's essential to take steps by contacting local professionals, like those at 1-800-BUSY-DOG, who will help reduce or remove mold from your home if you are experiencing any of these problems.

Skin Irritation, Headaches, and Nausea

Mold is a fungus that can cause severe allergic reactions. If you have allergies, mold can easily trigger these symptoms, especially with frequent exposure. Mold can cause skin irritations, headaches, nausea, or other symptoms that affect your health.

A rapid increase in symptoms such as redness, swelling, or a rash that looks like a sunburn suggests you have come into contact with more than one type of mold, which is more dangerous. If you've got exposed for a long time, your reactions may get delayed and worsen over time.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Mold growth occurs when moisture levels are high, and there's lots of organic material available for feedings, such as wood, drywall, ceiling tiles, and carpeting.

The most common types include Cladosporium, Penicillin, and Aspergillus, which carry toxic spores that can lead to respiratory problems like asthma or chronic fatigue syndrome if inhaled over time. To prevent mold growth in your home or business, you'll want to keep humidity levels below 50 percent and make sure that all water leaks get repaired.

In conclusion, mold can grow in your home, but it doesn't need to impact your health. If you have any signs of mold growth or notice that it's getting worse over time, call a professional immediately to remove it before it gets out of control.
