Understanding the Dangers of Mold and Mycotoxins

Mold is a common issue that many homeowners face, and it's not just a question of aesthetics; it's a health and safety issue. Molds can produce toxic substances called mycotoxins, which can cause a range of health symptoms from mild to severe. These include sneezing, itchy-runny nose, respiratory irritation, skin rash, headache, sinus congestion, asthma attacks, memory loss, mood changes, and more.

How You Can Take Control of Mold Growth in Your Home

While mold can seem like a formidable enemy, there are steps you can take to control its growth in your home. The first step is to dry out your house and fix any moisture problems. This means stopping water leaks, repairing leaky roofs and plumbing, and keeping water away from concrete slabs. Improving air circulation in your home is also crucial, so open windows and doors, use fans if necessary, and ensure that warm air flows into all areas of your home. Additionally, keep large objects a few inches away from the inside of exterior walls to increase air circulation.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Many people make the mistake of painting over mold or using bleach to kill mold. However, these methods are ineffective and can even make the problem worse. Painting over mold without first removing it can lead to the mold spreading and growing behind the paint. Similarly, bleach only works on non-porous surfaces and cannot reach the root structure of mold in porous materials.
