How can you determine if your allergies, sickness, or symptoms are caused by a mold problem?
The average person takes more than 20,000 breaths per day. With each inhalation that we take, it’s not just dust mites and pollen we have to worry about. Our dust can include indoor pathogens like mold, mycotoxins, and bacteria. All of these particles have the opportunity to enter our bodies and cause adverse health reactions, and they stem from the presence of water and moisture inside our homes. All a mold spore needs to do is to land on a surface with a water source, and then it will transition into a living colony within the home. That colony then releases microscopic spores into the indoor environment, contaminating surfaces and lowering the indoor air quality. Some species of mold can also produce microscopic toxins called mycotoxins that further add to that toxic indoor load.
