Have you ever wondered how dangerous mold can be to you and the people around you?
Well, if you have, here are some answers.
Mold can grow in many different types of forms. These forms vary in severity of danger and risk to humans of all ages, but are most dangerous to infants, children and pregnant woman.Mold grows in dark, moist, cool areas, and need oxygen, a food source, and a surface to grow on. Molds are microscopic organisms present both indoors and outdoors. A mold spore can travel into your home through a central air condition or heating system. It can be either toxic or non-toxic. Mold spores grab onto dust particles and feed off of them to grow and spread. Most houses that have mold growth have had at one time some kind of water damage. Water damage is most commonly caused by a sewer back up or sweating and slow-leaking pipes from behind walls, which is commonly where the source of the mold growth is found. Mold is most commonly found in homes with boiler rooms that include central heating or air conditioning systems, because the systems create excess moisture and/or condensation.
As we know, molds look and smell bad. But the greater threats are the health problems they can potentially cause.
Mold can have many different danger ous effects on people, especially if they are allergic. During the fall months, mold is often a major cause of allergies. Fallen leaves can be an ideal food source, be- cause they also hold in moisture, which
is the key element in mold growth. A person can have symptoms like fever, headaches, sneezing, itching and watery eyes,nose bleeds, coughing, and even worse symptoms such as skin rashes or irritation, asthma attacks, disorientation, and permanent lung damage.

is their main requirement for proliferation. Therefore, the best way to eliminate molds is by eliminating its source. Do this by fixing leaking pipes, drying up wet counters, sinks and tiles, and removing damp articles and disposing them properly.  Maintain good ventilation. The more humid the place is in a room, the more build up in moisture and condensation. Therefore, it is important to keep cool air circulating indoors. If you are not using air conditioners (in ordinary weather), open the windows and the doors. You can also use electrical fans and dehumidifiers to distribute cool air effectively and lower or eliminate humidity and moisture from the air.
