Mold exposure is extremely harmful to your health!
Mold affects different people in a myriad of ways. In fact, every individual that comes in contact with mold is likely to suffer varying degrees of symptoms depending on a variety of factors. For the most part, we have all encountered mold spores at some point in our lives. However, the difference is the reaction we get from these spores. For the majority of us, there is no response. On the other hand, those who are more prone to developing hazardous reactions are young children and those prone to illnesses such as asthma or other lung related problems.
Common Symptoms Of Mold Exposure
Being exposed to mold can result in a broad range of symptoms in different individuals. In fact, there are a few common ways that mold exposure manifests itself in people. People who have had exposure to mold spores can exhibit signs of nasal or sinus congestion, coughing, be wheezing or difficulty breathing, skin or eye irritation, and upper respiratory infections like asthma.
Who Is Most At Risk For Developing Symptoms?
Since mold can harm people regardless of their health, it’s hard to really determine the demographic that is most at risk for being affected by mold spores. However, it is important to note that children are at an increased danger of being susceptible to developing symptoms when exposed to mold due to their smaller and incomplete immune systems. In fact, people with a history of upper respiratory issues are also at an increased risk of developing negative health symptoms from being exposed to mold than other, healthier counterparts.
Babies Are At A Severe Risk
Probably the highest group of people at risk for suffering any symptoms as a result of being exposed to mold are babies. Young children, especially babies are still developing their immune systems which cause them to be a lot more susceptible to a variety of toxins in the air. Therefore, before bringing a baby into a home, it is imperative that you make sure to eliminate any and all mold that may be lurking behind the walls or in the basement.
