What are resultant health effects from exposure to mold?
In addition to its unsightly appearance, mold can present a hazard to one’s health. It’s an allergen and an irritant. Someone who suffers from household allergies or asthma will no doubt have trouble breathing in homes with mold infestations. Eyes, ears, noses and throats can become irritated as well. If you are ever in doubt as to what effects exposure to mold may have, consult a medical doctor, not an industrial hygienist.
