Can Mold Effect My Health?
Hundreds of species of mold are found in the United States that are not harmful to people. However, certain toxic molds such as penicillium, aspergillus,and toxic mold (also known as stachybotrus) can cause a variety of illnesses. Molds are usually not a problem indoors, unless mold spores end up land on a wet or damp area. Another suspect location for mold to grow is in the air conditioning unit(air handler) This is a perfect location for mold to grow due to the damp, dark enclosed area Molds have the potential to cause health problems. Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Touching or inhaling mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in individuals who may be sensitive. Allergic responses include some of
these symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis). Allergic reactions to mold are common.They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold. Research on mold and health effects is ongoing.
