Mold Health Effects
Mold in your home or business can lead to serious health issues. As most of us know, molds are ubiquitous in nature and are a common component of outdoor air, as well as household and workplace dust. However, when spores are present in large quantities, they can be a major health hazard to humans and pets, potentially causing allergic reactions and respitory problems.
Many molds also produce myotoxins that can pose serious health risks. "Toxic mold" refers to molds that produce mycotoxins, such as Stachybotrys chartarum and exposure to high levels of myotoxins can lead to potentially harmful health effects.
