Black Mold Is Hazardous to Your Morris County Home and Your Health
Darric Mitchell • Aug 13, 2019
Mold in your home can be a costly and exhausting problem to have. It’s even worse if your problem turns out to be the dreaded black mold. Black mold, also known as Stachybotrys Chartarum, is a type of toxigenic mold that leads to potentially serious health effects. Understanding the causes of black mold and how it affects your home and health are the first steps in protecting what you love most in this world.
When it comes to black mold, we often have to urge homeowners not to clean the mess themselves. A lot of property owners are more than happy to pick up a mop and bucket to wipe mold away. In doing so, you would likely inadvertently spread the mold spores further. We recommend professional mold remediation. It’s the only surefire solution.Who is Affected by Black Mold Damage?
There are many people who, because of genetic or chemical factors, are more sensitive to black mold than others. In some people, even a small amount can trigger a serious reaction, while others, when interacting with the same amount, have zero reaction.
Typically, age and health are factors that affect your reaction to mold. The elderly, anyone with a compromised immune system or respiratory disease, and children tend to be affected by mold more than other groups.
Health Symptoms of Black Mold Exposure
Black mold, as one of the worst types of mold to find in a home, presents all manner of adverse health symptoms. Some of the most common reactions to black mold include nausea, fatigue, sinus infections, difficulty breathing, and throat or eye irritation.
There are some extreme cases where black mold causes damage to the central nervous system, increases the risk of cancer, leads to depression, or causes internal bleeding of the lungs and throat.
In the rarest of cases, serious black mold exposure can lead to death. Again, these cases are extremely rare and very few are documented throughout history.
Household Damage Caused by Mold
When mold enters your property, it requires a constant food source to reproduce. Often, that food source is your home itself. It will consume the wood, drywall, and paper found throughout your structure. Eventually, support beams will begin to buckle and walls will sag and collapse.
