MOLD

 

HOW MOLD ILLNESS CAN MANIFEST

 

  • Respiratory Issues: Mold exposure can lead to or exacerbate respiratory problems, including asthma, bronchitis, and other chronic respiratory conditions.

  • Allergic Reactions: Mold can trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, and skin rashes.

  • Toxic Effects: Some molds produce mycotoxins, which can cause serious health issues, including neurological problems and immune system suppression.

  • Infections: In individuals with weakened immune systems, mold exposure can lead to fungal infections, which can be difficult to treat.

  • Mental Health: Exposure to mold can potentially affect mental health, leading to symptoms like brain fog, memory issues, and mood swings.
