Mold may begin growing
indoors when mold spores land on surfaces that are wet. There are
many types of mold, and none of them will grow without water or moisture.
Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing,
runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash. Allergic reactions to mold are
common. They can be immediate or delayed. Molds can also cause asthma
attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition,
mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs
of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. Symptoms other than
the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result
of inhaling mold. Research on mold and health effects is ongoing.
Humidifiers, Dehumidifiers, Mold Preventive Spray, Mold Resistant
Shower Curtain
Dehumidifiers and air conditioning are important tools in reducing
mite allergen and mold production during humid seasons. Reducing humidity
levels by using dehumidifiers & air conditioners and monitoring
with a gauge will help keep humidity levels low. Specialized products
can be used to treat mold problems within your home. These products,
including the Mold Zapper, a treated shower curtain, mold cleaning
products, and others, work to either kill mold spores or inhibit mold
growth.
