All that mould requires to reproduce and spread is moisture and it is especially abundant during the rainy season that we are in right now. Moulds reproduce through the release of tiny spores that are invisible to the naked eye while floating through the air. That means you wouldn’t even know that you breathed in those harmful spores or your skin came into contact with them until the symptoms started to appear. Here are some of the symptoms that you might experience due to prolonged exposure to mould growths:
1. Breathing Difficulty
Individuals that are sensitive to mould are susceptible to a range of symptoms. Mould poisoning, which is also known as Mycotoxicosis, can trigger respiratory issues. In this case, breathing in mould spores would cause breathing difficulty for that person.
2. Asthma Attack
In more severe cases, people suffering from asthma may find an increase in symptoms and frequency of attacks. It is also important to note that people with no prior symptoms could also start experiencing asthma attacks from prolonged exposure to moulds. In some serious cases, it can also corrode an individual’s immune system that may lead to even worse conditions like bronchitis.
3. Allergy Trigger
Looking beyond respiratory issues, mould spores that come in contact with a person’s skin can cause skin irritation with itchiness and swelling. This can really ruin a person’s day or week with the constant scratching which would worsen skin conditions and leave scars behind.
If the exposure to mould continues to be ignored, other symptoms such as persistent headaches and migraines, increased exhaustion and random muscle cramps will start to be present. All the reasons above are why indoor mould growth should not be ignored. If you are unsure what to do to remove the mould growths, seek professional assistance before they eventually spread to other areas.
