Mold exposure can affect your health, sometimes before mold is even visible. Understanding the potential effects can help you decide when testing or inspection is worthwhile.
Possible Health Effects of Mold Exposure
- Allergies and asthma symptoms
- Chronic coughing and sneezing
- Sinus irritation and headaches
- Eye and skin irritation
- Fatigue and respiratory issues
Who Is Most Sensitive
Individuals with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems, as well as older adults and young children, may be more sensitive to mold exposure. If someone in your home has unexplained respiratory symptoms, indoor air quality testing can help.
