How can molds affect my health?

Molds produce spores,which are invisible and small enough to travel through the air and into your lungs. You can also be exposed to molds by skin contact.

 

The most common health problem from molds is allergy symptoms,including:Runny nose,scratchy throat,itchy eyes,sneezing,and in more severe cases,

wheezing and coughing. Wheezing is a serious symptom that may mean asthma,and should be evaluated by a doctor.
Although some molds can produce toxins under certain conditions,research so far has not shown what levels can clearly cause serious health effects from indoor air exposure. If you think you have symptoms related to exposure to molds,you should see your doctor.

People sensitive to molds should not participate in cleaning mold from surfaces. If you are cleaning up mold,wear plastic gloves,
