Toxic Black Mold

An indoor health problem is not always presented in mold exposures. But there are people who are sensitive to molds. These people may experience symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation when exposed to molds. Some people may have more severe reactions to molds. Workers who are exposed to large amounts of mold in occupational settings such as farmers working around moldy hay may experience such severe reactions to mold. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath. Immunocompromised persons and persons with chronic lung diseases like COPD are at increased risk for opportunistic infections and may develop fungal infections in their lungs.
