THE DANGEROUS IMPACT OF HAVING MOLD INSIDE YOUR HOME Unbeknownst to you, a silent killer grows inside your abode. It’s been there, lying undetected for years on end, developing in your home’s damp areas, silently impacting your health. This is mold — an invisible and toxic substance that can develop not just inside your abode but also in schools and offices. You may not realize it but exposure to mold has been playing a huge role in causing serious health concerns such as asthma, depression and numerous allergies. This is backed by a study conducted by the prestigious Mayo Clinic, which states that almost all chronic sinus infections — which impact millions of Americans and is usually mistakenly diagnosed as just a common cold — are caused by exposure to mold. Mold is often called black mold, although it really varies in both color and composition. There is mold that can be seen, touched and even consumed. And while most of these will not cause harm, they have the potential to adversely impact your health if you are exposed to a sizable volume or if the existing conditions are ideal for it to release toxins. Mold usually develops in areas that have suffered water damage or need sewage cleanup of some sort. But if you thought that these are the only places that mold can grow in, you’re sorely mistaken since mold can also grow in your cabinet, your basement and crawl spaces, your bathroom and even your kitchen.
