FACTS ABOUT MOLD

- Molds are fungi that can be found indoors or outdoors and grow best in warm, damp and humid conditions.
- Molds and mold spores are everywhere, though are usually at low enough levels that they don't effect people's health.
- For those sensitive to mold exposure, they can experience symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing or skin irritation. - More severe reactions include fever and shortness of breath, and rare conditions from toxigenic molds include pulmonary hemorrhage or memory loss.
- Mold can be reduced by keeping humidity levels low, using a humidifier during warmer months and maintaining adequate ventilation, especially in showers and cooking areas.
