FAQs

Indoor mold exposure occurs through various means. Mold spores are ubiquitous, found indoors and outdoors. They are commonly present in the air of homes and thrive on damp surfaces. A significant portion of indoor mold originates from outdoor sources. Consequently, everyone encounters some level of mold daily without apparent harm. Health issues primarily arise when mold spores become airborne and are inhaled in substantial quantities. Additional exposure routes include skin contact and ingestion.

The amount of mold that can cause illness varies from person to person. Some individuals may experience health issues from minimal exposure to mold spores, while others may require more significant exposure. The impact depends on an individual's specific sensitivity to mold.

Certain groups are more susceptible to adverse health effects from mold exposure. These include infants and children, the elderly, individuals with compromised immune systems (such as those with HIV, undergoing cancer chemotherapy, or with liver disease), pregnant women, and people with pre-existing respiratory conditions like allergies, multiple chemical sensitivity, and asthma. It is advisable for individuals in these high-risk categories to seek medical advice if they experience health issues related to mold exposure.

Mold exposure can lead to various symptoms, with allergic reactions being the most frequent health concern. Common symptoms, which may occur individually or in combination, include respiratory issues such as wheezing and difficulty breathing, nasal and sinus congestion, eye irritation (burning, watering, or redness), blurred vision, light sensitivity, dry cough, sore throat, nasal irritation, shortness of breath, skin irritation, central nervous system problems (persistent headaches, memory issues, mood changes), general aches and pains, and potentially fever.
