Molds are commonly found in abundant moisture infiltrated buildings. Heat accelerates mold growth but mold can also
grow in a cooler climate. As mold growth continues it can produce potentially toxic byproducts called mycotoxins. The
amount and types of mycotoxins produced by a particular mold depends on many environmental and genetic factors. No one
can tell without testing whether mold is producing mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are known to effect people in many different
ways. Exposure to mycotoxins from inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact is dangerous. It is prudent
to avoid unnecessary inhalation exposure to any type of mold. Air born mold spores will search for organic
materials and continue to advance in numbers as long as there is abundant moisture and a food source. Resolving
the problem as soon as possible is always best.
Get fresh air as soon as possible if your infected with mold inhalation.
Do not try to remove a mold problem without the leadership of a remediation specialist. This can result in serious
problems for anyone who thinks that mold can not hurt them. Remaining in a mold infested environment will deteriorate
your health.
