Molds are
fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors and are
part of our natural environment. Molds grow best in warm,
damp and humid conditions, and reproduce and spread through
the production of spores. Molds have the potential to cause
serious health concerns by producing allergens--substances
than cause allergic reactions--and in some cases, even toxic
substances (mycotoxins).
Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause severe
allergic reactions in some people. Allergic reactions to
mold may include hay fever-like symptoms, such as sneezing,
runny nose, red eyes, and a skin rash. Molds can also cause
asthma attacks for people who have suffer from that
particular disease.
It is virtually impossible to get rid of all the
mold and
mold spores indoors. Some of the mold spores will be found
floating through the air mixed with house dust. Indoor mold,
can however, be controlled by controlling the amount of
moisture indoors. If there is mold growth in your indoor
environment, you must clean up the mold AND fix the water
problem.
