Types of Mold Reactions

What are molds and how are they capable of harming you and your loved ones? Molds are living organisms that belong to the fungi kingdom and feed on the dead and decaying matter of the environment. These organisms need water present at their place of development at all times 24 to 48 hours before they can initiate their growth at the desired position. These organisms also can’t sustain themselves in the presence of sunlight as the UV rays present in the sunlight inhibit their growth. As for how they can harm you and your family, there is a long list of symptoms which can be caused by the presence of molds in your house and these symptoms are:

• Allergic symptoms: These symptoms are caused due to the presence of spores in the air which are released by the molds. These spores not only help and enhance the growth of molds at various viable positions in a house but also trigger serious allergic reactions when they enter the body because the human body fails to recognize these spores as a part of the body and hence generates various responses to fight against these particles. The allergic symptoms include heavy and constant coughing, sneezing, reddening of eyes, watery eyes, itching in the ears, flu like symptoms etc.
• Infections: These infections are caused in the body when the spores enter inside the body and mold formation takes place in the body parts. This can cause damage to various places where the mold formation takes place and in some cases it can also lead to the death of a person. Usually old people and people with weaker immune system are more susceptible to this.
• Mental and Neurological Symptoms: These are the most dangerous symptoms and are caused by the presence of a toxic mold inside the residence. These symptoms degrade the mental and neurological condition of a person greatly and can easily lead to diseases such as cancer and eventually the death of the person who is concerned.
