Do Molds Affect My Health?

Most molds do not harm healthy people.  But most people who have allergies or asthma may be more sensitive to molds.  Sensitive people may experience skin rash, running nose, eye irritation, cough, nasal congestions, and aggravation of asthma or difficulty breathing.

A small number of molds produce toxins called mycotoxins.  When people are exposed to high levels of mold mycotoxins they may suffer toxic effects, including fatigue, nausea, headaches, and irritation to the lungs and eyes.
