What Health Hazards Can Mold Cause?

In the wild, mold, mildew and fungus breaks down decaying organic material and enriches the surrounding soil, but it can bring its share of major health problems if you allow it to thrive in your house. Luckily, most types of mold is generally innocent, however a small splotch can spread across your home. When mold procreates, it releases particles into the air which can cause sickness if inhaled by people with allergies or breathing issues. According to a few studies, there might be a correlation between an early exposure to mold and the development of asthma in some younger children.

Household mold or mildew is harmless for a majority of folks, but can hurt more sensitive groups. Mold allergies are common for a lot of people and flair up on different occasions based on the density of mold. Sneezing, coughing, runny nose, red eyes, wheezing, headaches and other cold-like reactions are commonly seen with mold and mildew allergies, making it difficult to target the problem accurately. More serious allergies can cause harsh reactions such as shortness of breath. Mold and mildew can be particularly triggering for asthma attacks as well. Other groups at risk include:

  • Babies and children
  • Seniors
  • Immune sensitive individuals
  • Anyone with chronic pulmonary disease
