What is also concerning is according to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), maybe as high a 50% of dwellings, commercial building, and offices in America have a history of water damage and could easily contain mold toxins<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Black mold (1<\/strong><\/a>) is a common occurrence in homes, growing and flourishing in damp, humid conditions. This would not be such a problem but for the fact that black mold can cause a host of symptoms and if left untreated can lead to toxic conditions within your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n TL;DR<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n – these are the steps you can take<\/p>\n\n\n\n We will cover in this article How to Prevent Exposure to Mold, Symptoms of Mold Exposure and provide an in-depth look at mold poisoning, toxicity, detection, prevention, and how to detox your body from the mold<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mold is a type of fungus that is made up of many tiny tubular branches. These multicellular filaments are known collectively as hyphae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n They have genetically identical nuclei which make up a single organism that becomes a colony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Being a fungus means they reproduce by producing spores, so small they cannot be seen with the naked eye. You get many different strains of mold. Some are beneficial and are used in food production. You know that smelly cheese that you like? Or maybe you don\u2019t want…. That is good mold that will not harm you (2<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n But black mold is another story altogether. It has a distinct smell that we all know. That \u201cmoldy\u201d smell in rooms that haven\u2019t been appropriately aired is not just a smell; it is the presence of mold. If you can\u2019t see it directly, it may still be present because the spores can stay dormant for ages, until conditions become favorable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mold, in itself, is not toxic but it produces hydrolytic enzymes and the chemical by-product of these enzymes (which help break down cellulose) release mycotoxins. These mycotoxins are what cause allergic reactions and breathing problems, common to mold toxicity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Source:<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Black mold can appear in smooth, black patches but can also look hairy and comes in a range of colors from pink to orange to green to purple!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The first signs of black mold toxicity will be allergic reactions like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If left untreated or if you just take anti-histamines to relieve the symptoms, the mold will continue to breed from inside your body. It will favor the moist conditions found in mucous membranes of the lungs and entire respiratory tract (inside nose, mouth, and throat).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Black Mold Symptoms can become more severe resulting in conditions like:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Along with symptoms, one of the best ways to know if you are being poisoned by biotoxic mold, is to test your home (or office).<\/p>\n\n\n\n DIY Black Mold Test,\u00a0Mold Testing Kit (3 tests). Lab Analysis and Expert Consultation included<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is not always easy to eradicate mold completely, but some simple solutions can be employed to detox your body (and home) from the toxic effects (4<\/strong><\/a>) of mold infestation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It hides in plain sight. Mold loves damp, humid conditions. It will thrive and multiply at a tremendous rate in perfect conditions. But when those conditions change the spores can stay dormant in arid conditions, for very long periods. This is when you may not know the mold is present. As soon as damp returns you will be able to see exactly where the mold is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by inspecting your home. Look in the kitchen around the sink area, where the tiles meet the sink. Mold loves to grow under the silicone that seals the cracks between wall and sink. Over time water gets trapped behind the silicone and mold will appear. Source<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Look in all your cupboards, in the dark corners, both bottom, and top. If a room is not well ventilated and the climate is humid, no doubt, mold will be growing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Air ducts of aircon systems gather moisture and condensation, perfect breeding grounds for mold. Surfaces with a high cellulose content are also favored by mold colonies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I used this to remove and contain black mold in my bedroom and got immediate benefits and it was a feeling of great insurance too!<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Check the bathrooms, around the sink and bath and in the shower. Check for mold and check for damp.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPrevention is always better than cure<\/strong>\u00a0so if you find damp areas, a leaking tap or an outlet pipe, on the outside of the house, sort it out fast.\u201d<\/p> <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Unless the mold is very extreme and prevalent, it should not be necessary to call in professionals.\u00a0<\/a>Affordable mold testing kits<\/a>\u00a0are available to test the home and urine sample tests can be done by laboratories if you are worried you may have been exposed to unhealthy amounts of mold spores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Conventionally, mold in the home can be treated using a bleach solution.
