Mold Removal for Unexplained Sickness
Is Mold Making You Sick? Probably.
According to some, "Mold Exposure is perhaps the single most misdiagnosed illness in the United States." Prolonged exposure to mold can stimulate allergic like reactions in people as well as cause an assortment of illness symptoms. It appears that people with better immunity will be able to tolerate the ill effects of mold; however, people who are under stress, have weakened immunities, are allergic to mold or are seniors are at greater risk to develop illnesses related to mold mycotoxins in their homes. Also, mold can make pets sick as well!
The mold famous for producing negative symptoms is Stachybotrys also known as Black Mold. However, other forms of mold that may be in your house such as Aspergillus can also lead to causing symptoms. The website for the Center of Disease Prevention has an excellent database of common molds and diseases caused by exposure to them.
For a general list, here are some signs of mold induced sickness:
Headaches
Most often, you wake up with them. In fact, you may be woken up from sleep with a headache. If you suddenly notice and onset of headaches and you typically do not get them, you may want to consider a hidden source of mold.
For example, in one case on Mold Damage Tarpon Springs, the couple had moved into a condo six months prior to discovering that there was black mold growing on the drywall behind their bed. No wonder the woman continuously woke up with severe headaches.
Often, mold induced headaches will go away within hours of the person leaving the contaminated area. Unfortunately for some, they linger a bit due to mold induced sinusitis.
Sinusitis
Sinusitis is the most common health care complaint and affects 37 million people in USA (about 1 out of every 7 Americans). According to a Mayo Clinic study, mold is a known allergen that many people are likely sensitive to. In addition, the study shows that mold in the air and in the nose is directly linked to sinus inflammation. The Mayo Clinic study proved that 93% of all chronic sinusitis studied was caused by mold.
