Molds exist everywhere. They are part of our environment, and certain individuals are sensitive to exposure to these fungi and there spores. There are methods of testing mold to determine species and toxicity levels in the home. These tests, while they can determine species of mold and concentration of spores, do not really do anything to treat any of the symptoms.
As sensitivity and symptoms can vary from person to person, and there are currently no standards to determine “safe” levels of mold exposure, the most effective action when mold is discovered in a home or workplace is to remove it immediately and thoroughly. If any symptoms, such as allergies, headaches, flu or fatigue, are experienced, seek treatment from a medical care professional. There are medical care professionals who specialize in the treatment of environmental factors such as mold exposure and can help create a comprehensive plan for complete health.
