Mold in the house: can it cause illness or allergies?\u00a0 Depending on the type of mold, the answer is yes.<\/p>\n

Certain types of mold can cause numerous health problems, and they may actually cause allergies as well.<\/p>\n

Not all types of mold cause problems, then again if you can see one type of mold growing, and it happens to be harmless, there may be other types of mold that cause illness which you can\u2019t see, haven\u2019t identified, or which may start growing in the future.<\/p>\n

Most houses have some mold growing in them somewhere.\u00a0 It is a matter of how much mold is growing in the house.\u00a0 This depends on a number of things.\u00a0 Mold needs a damp dark place to grow best.\u00a0 Some molds grow fine in the light as well.\u00a0 Air circulation reduces mold growth.<\/p>\n

If your house gets a lot of fresh air from outside, the effects of mold will be less, but that does not get rid of mold health problems, especially if you have a mold allergy.<\/p>\n

Mold can release mycotoxin into the air, a class of toxins produced by mold.\u00a0 This is probably the main reason certain types of mold are unhealthy.<\/p>\n

Mold spores can trigger allergies for those with a mold allergy.\u00a0 Mold can also trigger an asthma attack in asthmatics.<\/p>\n

Some mold smells bad, and some you can not smell, but this has nothing to do with how dangerous the mold is.\u00a0 Even mold you can not smell might be dangerous.\u00a0 Also, not everyone can smell mold very well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
