What are the health concerns surrounding fungus?
According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, mold is a “possible allergen”. Unfortunately, the science has not been fully developed in this regard. Documented symptoms of mold exposure can range from simple allergy type reactions to hypersensitivity or respiratory difficulties. How much exposure is required to bring on symptoms varies from individual to individual. Past or extended exposures may cause a weakened resistance to exposure. Individuals with compromised immune systems, pregnant women and infants are particularly at risk. If you feel that you may be having adverse reactions to molds, seek the advice of a qualified medical doctor.
