If mold spores are inhaled or ingested, YOU CAN BECOME SERIOUSLY ILL! The longer you go undiagnosed and untreated, the faster the mold will continuously grow inside your body making you more sick with each day that passes. As mold continues to grow inside your body, it produces a poison called “MYCOTOXIN”, these poisons remain in your body day after day. Each day the mold is left untreated, the larger the colonies of mold will become producing larger amounts of toxins in your body.   Related Illnesses from Mold Exposure: Lung Damage Brain Damage Skin Disorders Asthma Allergies Headaches Death Different species of molds produce different types of toxins and people can go through a wide range of different symptoms. Because the variety of a person’s symptoms to mold exposure range differently, many physicians diagnose patients to having “psychological issues.” Level I – Common Symptoms of Mold Exposure The most common reported symptoms of short term mold exposure: Sneezing Itching Skin Redness of the Skin Watery Eyes Itching Eyes Dizziness Headache Fatigue Level II – Advanced Symptoms of Mold Exposure: The following symptoms have been reported by people who have been exposed to a mold contaminated property for an extended period of time (home, school, office)! Constant Headache Nose Bleeds Fatigue Breathing Disorder Coughing up Blood or Black Looking Mucus Nausea Diarrhea Vomiting Loss of Appetite Weight Loss Hair Loss Skin Irritations Open Sores Short Term Memory Loss Neurological and Nervous Disorders Sexual Dysfunction Swollen Glands in the neck and/or armpit area Sudden Asthma Attacks or Breathing Disorders Ear Infections and Ear Pain Chronic Sinus Infections Chronic Bronchitis Painful Muscles and Joints It is important to remember that different species of molds have different reactions with the human body! Level III – Late Stage Symptoms of Mold Exposure: The following conditions of mold exposure are the most severe and are caused by high levels of exposure! Blindness Brain Damage Long Term Memory Loss Bleeding Lungs Cancer Death | Schedule a Free Estimate Today | Disclaimer: This information is to provide you with general information about mold and is not intended to provide legal advice, construction advice, or medical advice of any kind.

There are many difference types of mold – black mold, toxic mold and allergenic molds. These molds are present around us all the time in the air we breathe whether inside or outside. In low levels, mold and mold spores are harmless but if the levels increase they can have serious effects on people; especially those who suffer with allergies, asthma and other respiratory conditions or immune suppressed individuals. Black Mold The media often refers to “black mold” as being “toxic mold”. It is usually associated with the mold Stachybotrys, a type of greenish-black mold which is associated with heavy water damage. This mold is not always toxic mold. While there are only a few molds that are truly black, many molds may appear to be black. Not all molds that appear to be solid black are Stachybotrys mold. Toxic Mold Certain molds excrete toxic compounds called mycotoxins, sometimes only under specific growing conditions. Certain mycotoxins can be very harmful or even lethal to humans and animals when the level of contamination is high enough. Some of the most deadly chemicals on the planet are mycotoxins. Mycotoxins breed on the surfaces in which they land on. They can cause human illnesses through ingestion, but also through dermal exposure and inhalation of mycotoxin-contaminated debris or air borne spores. Mycotoxic mold and mold spores are the more dangerous molds which contain toxins that reside in the mold cell wall.These molds can cause serious health problems to both humans and pets. They range from short-term irritations of the respiratory tract to immunosuppression, to cancer and even death. One example of a common toxic mold is Stachybotrys, which has been associated with “sick building syndrome”. Some mycotoxins cause immune system responses that vary considerably, depending on the individual. The duration of exposure is a key factor in triggering immune system response. Allergenic Molds Mold spores can also be allergenic, causing irritations of the eyes, nose, throat and lungs. Molds may excrete liquids or gases, not all of which can be detected by smell. Allergenic mold and mold spores are not usually harmful to humans unless they are at high levels. However, allergenic molds can cause allergenic or asthmatic symptoms when exposed. Generally, allergenic molds are easily cleaned and removed. NOTE: Even dead allergenic mold spores or mold contaminated particles can trigger allergic and/or asthmatic reactions. | Schedule a Free 30 Minute Air Test Today |
