What Are the Symptoms of Mold?
Mold poses many health risks. Minor exposure causes symptoms such as itching, coughing, wheezing, skin rash, fatigue, headache, and difficulty breathing. These are allergy-like symptoms, and they can be resolved quickly if caught early.
An extended period of exposure to mold is likely to cause more serious illnesses, including developing or worsening asthma and hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP).
People with respiratory conditions and compromised immune systems are at an even higher risk of these complications.
How Do Mold Exposure Illnesses Occur?
Mold illnesses can occur through brief or prolonged exposure. Symptoms result from inhaling or touching mold or mold spores. You can develop infections days to weeks after exposure to mold and fungi that live in the environment.
It can begin to harm your day-to-day life by causing brain fog, memory loss, and anxiety. Symptoms such as this can form only 2 to 9 hours after exposure and will remain on and off until the mold has been completely removed.
The Signs of Mold and Mold Exposure
It is important to be able to identify the signs of mold before it can pose health risks. The first indicator is smell. If you begin to smell a musty or stale odor, similar to wet paper, that likely means that mold is present in your home.
Another early indicator is water or moisture issues leading to an increase in humidity. Dark stains are the first irreversible sign and can affect tile, wallpaper, and paint.
It can also cause paint blistering on walls and lumpy insulation, which is a sign that mold is growing underneath. Mold commonly appears as fuzzy, discolored, or slimy patches that begin to spread over time.
It is important to recognize these signs early in order to catch and treat the issue before it is not only irreversible, but dangerous to your health.
