In some cases, people may not recognize their toxic mold symptoms as such, mistaking them for the common cold or flu. As time goes by and the level of exposure increases, toxic mold symptoms will worsen, and in some cases can lead to such problems as memory loss and bleeding lungs.
Recognizing toxic mold symptoms is crucial both to receiving timely medical attention and to having the mold removed from the living/working environment. As soon as possible after toxic mold symptoms appear, individuals should have their home/office tested for mold, and should report their toxic mold symptoms to a physician. Infants, pregnant women, the elderly, asthmatics and anyone suffering from respiratory illness are at high risk for developing serious mold-related illnesses, and any toxic mold symptoms should be taken very seriously if they appear in these people.
The initial toxic mold symptoms closely resemble flu, including headaches, irritation of the eyes, and a sore throat. As mentioned previously, these toxic mold symptoms tend to grow in severity as the mold count in the air increases. Asthma, ear and eye infections, diarrhea, impotence and hair loss are some of the more serious toxic mold symptoms, and can indicate a serious mold infestation.
As frightening as some of these toxic mold symptoms are, the diseases that result from toxic mold exposure can be even worse. Persons manifesting toxic mold symptoms may be in danger of developing lupus, cancer, fibromyalgia, tuberculosis, Epstein-Barr, chronic fatigue syndrome, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, and Multiple Chemical Sensitivities.
If you or someone you love is displaying toxic mold symptoms, take steps to protect your health and future. Immediately report your toxic mold symptoms to a physician, and have your home and workplace inspected for mold. If your co-workers and family members are also experiencing toxic mold symptoms, the infestation may be serious. Left untreated, toxic mold symptoms can prove at the least an inconvenience, and at the worst a serious health hazard. People with toxic mold symptoms may want to consider retaining an attorney in case the responsibility for the mold infestation falls on another party.
