Is Mold Dangerous to Your Health?
Mold's health impact varies by species, exposure level, and individual sensitivity. For some people exposure causes only mild allergy symptoms; others can experience more significant reactions.
Allergic reactions
Sneezing, congestion, eye irritation, and skin rashes are common allergy-type responses to mold exposure.
Respiratory impact
People with asthma or compromised immunity may experience worsened respiratory symptoms in moldy environments.
Who is most at risk?
Infants, the elderly, immunocompromised individuals, and those with allergies or asthma are typically more sensitive to mold exposure.
When to test
If anyone in the home has unexplained or persistent symptoms that improve when away, an inspection and air quality assessment is warranted.
