A Little Background on Mold
Mold is a type of fungus that grows in damp, warm, and humid environments. It reproduces through tiny airborne spores and can thrive on various surfaces, including wood, drywall, carpet, and food. While some molds are harmless, others can pose serious health risks. Exposure to mold can cause allergic reactions, respiratory issues, skin irritation, and, in severe cases, trigger asthma attacks or infections, especially in people with weakened immune systems. Prolonged exposure to toxic molds, like Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), can lead to more severe health problems, such as neurological symptoms and chronic respiratory conditions. Mold also causes structural damage to buildings, making its prevention and removal critical for health and safety.
