Mold Health

Mold can cause serious health problems if you are exposed to it in your home or work place. Mold health symptoms in the initial stages include respiratory problems, sneezing, itching, watery eyes and a headache. In people with good immune systems, this may be the end of the problems. However, long term health complications are more serious. Nose bleeds, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, skin rashes, difficulty breathing, hair loss, swollen glands, chronic sinus infections and weight loss can all be present in anyone facing long term exposure to mold. If mold health symptoms continue, patients can experience lung damage, brain damage and cancer. Some people die from long term mold exposure. Mold can be in any area of a home but tends to be in areas of a home that are damp. Anyone that believes they have mold in their home should have an inspection done. Once the source of the mold is discovered, it should be cleaned up immediately.
