Did you know that there are three categories of Mold? They are Allergenic, Pathogenic & Toxic. In the case of Allergenic Molds, if a person has a severe allergy to a particular Allergenic Mold it could be deadly for them. Just as one person may be allergic to bee stings and another may not, the person who was stung by bees could suffer from an anaphylactic reaction, even death, whereas the person not allergic may only have symptoms of swelling and itching at the contact point. This proves the point that there are many variable when it comes to species and genus' of Molds.
It is wise to have an ENT doctor or Allergy Specialist test you for Mold Allergies especially if you live in a moisture prone area, such as coastal areas.
If you start to suffer from headaches, lethargy, scratchy throats, or unexplained rashes, you will want to have a Professional Mold Inspector perform a Mold Inspection of your property that includes Indoor Air Quality testing for Mold Spores present in the air!!!
Its all about educating yourself and preventative tactics!
Ya'll have a great weekend!!!
