What are the potential dangers of having mold in my basement?
The link between mold and serious health effects has been widely studied, and there is no longer any question that mold causes respiratory problems, asthma, and allergic reactions. A Mayo Clinic study has shown that nearly all of chronic sinus infections are due to mold. Other adverse heath symptoms that can be caused by mold include symptoms such as headaches, sore throat, and eye irritation. Young children, pregnant women, and the elderly are most at risk of the effects of mold.
