Harmful Effects of Mold on your Health

Molds are tiny microscopic organisms that can grow on natural or built-in environment. Molds produce tiny microscopic cells known as "spores" which are very small and not visible to the naked eye. These tiny cells are capable of spreading through the air without you noticing. If these molds are not treated quickly and prevented from multiplying, they can cause severe health problems to your family.

Molds don’t seem to be a problem to people who are healthy, but might be a problem for people with health problems like asthma or allergies. People suffering from health problems like asthma or allergies may face problems like itching, skin rashes, eye irritation, cough, running nose or aggravation of asthma. If you are suffering from an underlying lung disease, you may be exposed to getting an infection. 

According to some researchers the effects can be more severe to continuous exposure to mold. Some of the severe effects can be fever, respiratory dysfunction (including coughing blood), Nose bleeds, diarrhea, vomiting, headaches and liver problems. The more people are exposed to Mold the more severe the problems can get.

These toxins can have harmful effects on people, effects that can be toxic. The long term exposure to mold is not healthy to anyone, but the individuals most likely to face severe problems to exposure to mold are infants or children, elderly people or people suffering from allergies and asthma.
