Mold Symptoms

Mold is found in many indoor buildings and can result in illness and maybe death. Minor symptoms of mold exposure include sneezing, itching all over, watery eyes and a headache. The symptoms of long-term mold exposure include constant headaches, nose bleeds, fatigue, nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, loss of appetite, skin rashes, difficulty breathing, hair loss, swollen glands, chronic sinus infections and weight loss. However the complications can be more serious. If mold symptoms continue, patients can experience lung damage, brain damage and cancer. Some people die from mold exposure. The symptoms can vary depending on the person and the type of mold. Anyone with immune deficiencies will have more severe mold symptoms and will be more at risk for serious health illnesses. Many homeowners have their homes tested for mold exposure. These inspections can find mold in any area of the home, including the insulation. Once the mold is removed, many people report their health symptoms improve greatly.
