CBS Tonight : wbztv.com: Dr. Mallika Marshall: Mold In Your Home: Answers

[Guest guest]

All, tonight on CBS channle 4 tonight on 5pm EST news, Dr. Mallika

Marshall answers the question: Mold in the home make you sick. I had

copied and pasted this from the CBS website. There is a place in the

website that I think we all need to write to them regarding this.

Apparantly she has never visited our group here, and doesn't know our

reality or maybe she just doesn't want to know our reality that we are

living in. Darlene wbztv.com

Mold In Your Home

Kathleen, Plymouth:

" My aunt and uncle had mold in their home. Could it have made them sick? "

Dr. Mallika:

A lot of people are concerned about exposure to mold. The truth of the

matter is mold is a fungus that is present in most places, both

indoors and out. All of us are exposed to some mold every day without

any problems. We breathe in mold spores that are present in air or eat

foods in which mold has begun to grow. But people with actual mold

allergies can have a bad reaction if exposed to too much mold. These

people can develop wheezing, stuffy nose, itchy eyes, headaches,

rashes…and over time could develop chronic sinus problems. However,

very rarely do molds cause life-threatening disease.
