Recently, when my mother was getting her migraine treatment done, her doctor emphasized that it was very important to get Mold removal done in our house as well, if necessary. Although mold is part of our natural environment, indoor mold can make one really sick! Mold in the home releases tiny spores to reproduce, which contaminate the air we breathe. What is even worse is that mold-related illnesses are often misdiagnosed because those suffering are not even aware that they have a mold problem, which was precisely the case with my mother. Toxic mold commonly occurs in damp, humid areas of the house including behind walls and appliances. Toxic mold types such as Stachybotrys, cladosporium, aspergillus, memnoniella, acremonium, and black mold are the most dangerous. They cause allergies and sicknesses that can be life-threatening. Because mold infestation may be difficult to detect, mold testing is the most effective way to properly determine the quality of your indoor air. Mold testing is a safety measure that everyone should take to ensure that indoor air is safe to breathe. Any building in which people spend a significant amount of time such as homes, offices, schools and churches should be tested for mold problems to avoid mold-related illnesses.
