Mould is considered to be one of the worst contaminants with insidious properties that is hidden or in plain sight in your home or office. It is a type of fungi that lives on plant and animal matter. This can include building materials like wood, furnishings like carpets and curtains, and even books and boxes.
All it needs is a damp place with good moisture content and it will start to grow within 48 hours. If there is no regular check on mould growth, it can have adverse effects on one’s health and cause extensive damage to properties.
Common areas for mould growth.
Mould primarily thrives in damp and poorly ventilated areas of the house. These could be the basements; showers; under kitchen sinks; and areas around heating and cooling appliances. Mould in homes can also occur on carpets, ventilation ducts, furniture, cabinets, and crawlspaces.
Mould spores are commonly found both indoors and outdoors. When they land on damp spots indoors, they may begin to grow and spread. There is no way to completely eliminate all mould indoors; you can only control the source of moisture.
How does mould affect health.
Mould can trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, red eyes, runny nose, skin rash, itchy skin, and headaches. Other related health risks include nasal congestion, sinusitis, asthma attacks, and respiratory and fungal infections.
People with long-term exposure to mould and increased toxicity may also experience symptoms like persistent migraines and headaches, random muscle cramps, and exhaustion. In more severe cases, exposed people may also suffer from sensitivity to light.
People with weakened immune systems are also more susceptible to mould.
