Health Effects of Mold
What symptoms
are commonly seen with mold exposure?
• Exposure to mold can produce adverse health effects
through inflammation, allergy, or infection. Allergic reactions
(often referred to as hay fever) are most common following mold
exposure. Typical symptoms that mold-exposed persons report
(alone or in combination) include: Respiratory problems, such as
wheezing, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath Nasal
and sinus congestion • Eye irritation (burning, watery, or
reddened eyes) • Post nasal drip, dry hacking cough • Nose or
throat irritation • Skin rashes or irritation Headaches, memory
problems, mood swings, nosebleeds, body aches and pains, and
fevers are occasionally reported in mold cases.
How much mold
can make me sick?
•
It depends. For some people, a relatively small number of
mold spores can trigger an asthma attack or lead to other health
problems. For other persons, symptoms may occur only when
exposure levels are much higher. Nonetheless, indoor mold growth
is unsanitary and undesirable. Basically, if you can see or
smell mold inside your home, take steps to identify and
eliminate the excess moisture , cleanup and remove the mold
immediately.
Are some molds
more hazardous than others?
Allergic persons vary in their sensitivities to mold, both
as to the amount and the types to which they react. In addition
to their allergic properties, certain types of molds, such as Stachybotris chartarum and some aspergillus & penicillium molds may produce compounds that have toxic
properties, which are called mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are not
always produced, and whether a mold produces mycotoxins depends
on what the mold is growing on. Conditions such as temperature,
pH, humidity or other unknown factors play an important role.
When mycotoxins are present, they occur in both living and dry
dorment
mold spores and may be present in materials that have become
contaminated with molds. While Stachybotrys is growing, a wet
slime layer covers its spores, preventing them from becoming
airborne. However, when the mold dies and dries up, air currents
or physical handling can cause spores to become airborne. At
present there is no environmental test to determine whether
Stachybotrys growth found in buildings is producing toxins. The
most common initial complaint people have when exposed to this
mold type is a sudden headache or sore throat. There is no
reliable blood or urine test that can establish if an
individual has been exposed to Stachybotrys chartarum spores or
its toxins.
Who is at
greater risk when exposed to mold?
Exposure to mold is not healthy for anyone inside
buildings. Therefore, it is always best to identify and correct
high moisture conditions quickly before mold grows and health
problems develop. Some people may have more severe symptoms or
become ill more rapidly than others: • Individuals with existing
respiratory conditions, such as allergies, chemical
sensitivities, or asthma. • Persons with weakened immune systems
(such as people with HIV infection, cancer chemotherapy
patients, and so forth) • Infants and young children • The
elderly, anyone with health problems they believe are due to
molds should consult a medical professional. Additional fact
sheets on Mold and Health Effects are available from CDHS: •

chartarum a mold that may be found in water damage
