Mold is a type of fungus that can grow indoors and outdoors. It can enter your home through open doors, windows, vents, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mold can also be carried into your home on your clothing, pets, or shoes.
Mold grows best in warm, damp, and humid conditions. It can spread quickly through your home and cause serious health problems, such as allergies and respiratory infections.
Mold can cause a variety of health problems, including:
Allergies
Asthma
Bronchitis
Coughing
Eye irritation
Nasal congestion
Skin rash
Sneezing
Wheezing
If you have mold in your home, you should take immediate action to remove it and prevent it from returning. You should also have your home’s heating and air conditioning system inspected and serviced by a qualified professional.
