Toxic Mold Exposure

Toxic mold exposure can cause a number of health issues, ranging from eye irritation to death. The public is becoming more aware of the risks associated with toxic mold exposure, but many people do not realize that they and their loved ones may be experiencing toxic mold exposure on a daily basis.

Toxic molds can grow in any part of a building that is dark and damp: under the roof, in drop ceilings, in kitchens and bathrooms, etc. Toxic mold exposure occurs when people in proximity to the mold growth inhale chemicals called mytotoxins, which are secreted by the toxic mold. Mytotoxins can spread beyond the actual area of mold infestation, meaning that toxic mold exposure can occur in areas of the building that do not actually contain mold.

Toxic mold exposure affects the lungs, digestive systems and brains of victims, and in some cases, daily toxic mold exposure has caused death. More common results of toxic mold exposure are chronic headaches, nosebleeds, and respiratory problems, although there are a number of serious diseases linked to toxic mold exposure, including fibromyalgia, tuberculosis, lupus, cancer, Epstein-Barr, neurological disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.

Because toxic mold exposure is still not fully understood, people who are exposed may not comprehend the potential for serious injury stemming from toxic mold exposure. Even without the devastating diseases, the common side effects can become serious enough to interfere with daily life. In most cases, the results of toxic mold exposure end when the mold infestation is removed, but there is a chance that victims of toxic mold exposure may have their lives ended or drastically changed. For that reason, if you suspect that toxic mold exposure has sickened yourself or a loved one, seek medical attention, have your home inspected for mold, and retain a lawyer familiar with the risks of toxic mold exposure.
