Mold symptoms include watery eyes, a runny nose, and a general feeling of being congested. If you have any of these symptoms, then you may have some form of mold in your home. Some symptoms of exposure to mold include coughing, wheezing, sore throat, and a reduction in the number of capillaries in the respiratory system. These symptoms are caused by the development of mold spores on moist surfaces and the absorption of water vapor into the lungs. The development of black mold symptoms, on the other hand, is generally caused by toxic mold.

There are many different forms of black toxic mold and it can be difficult to differentiate between them. The best way to distinguish between mold and other types of fungus is to determine what the typical symptom of exposure is. Most people experience irritation or watering of the eyes, which usually accompanies a severe weather event.

Other common symptoms of exposure to toxic black mold include a reduced sense of smell, a changed sense of taste, asthma, a reduced number or swelling of the lymph nodes, rashes, and a yellowish, or greenish discoloration of the skin. It is important to understand that a reduction in the number of lymph nodes can result in serious health issues such as death.

 In fact, there have been reports of individuals dying from as little as one exposure to mold spores, while other people have suffered from exposure to spores in their home for years and have developed serious health issues as a result. It is imperative that if you believe you have had exposure to toxic mold, you contact a doctor for a proper diagnosis.

It is not uncommon for mold to grow in small areas of a house or apartment. However, mold grows in bulk in rooms that experience little or no ventilation. Mold spores travel easily through any type of damp, humid environment, so it is important to locate where the source of the mold may be and eliminate it. For black mold to thrive, it must be continually moistened in order to reproduce. Once the mold has reproduced, it is very hard to eradicate because the spores are airborne and can be breathed in by anyone within the room.

Many people are aware of the symptoms of exposure to black mold but they often don't think about black mold prevention. However, if you suspect that you have been exposed to toxic mold you need to visit a local doctor for a proper diagnosis. If it is determined that you have been exposed to toxic mold, you will then need to take steps to eradicate the mold. This could include sealing affected rooms, eliminating the moisture problem in the room, and using mold killer or a mold-removing product to kill all the black molds in the room.
