Beware of Mold – Some Signs and Symptoms to Watch Out For
Mold is a fairly common problem in many homes and buildings and can be the cause of some serious health problems. The presence of mold causes mold spores to be released into the air. Inhaling these spores can cause cold or allergy like symptoms. Some of these symptoms include:
- Irritated skin
- Nasal and sinus congestion
- Coughing and sneezing
- Sore throat
- Difficulty breathing
In more serious cases, mold found in homes and buildings can be toxic. In these situations, people who inhale or are in contact with these poisonous materials can experience very severe health problems. One example of a dangerous toxic mold is black toxic mold. Some signs and symptoms of contact with this type of mold can include:
- Mental impairment
- Vision problems
- Balance problems
- Confusion
- Stomach pain
- Internal Lesions
