Many, if not most, molds can produce potentially harmful substances, whether it’s allergens, mycotoxins, or other compounds. Hence, all indoor mold growth should be removed promptly, no matter what type(s) of mold is present or whether it can produce toxins. " " There is wide variability in how different people are affected by mold exposures. However, the long term presence of indoor mold growth may eventually become unhealthy for anyone. " " The following types of people may be affected more severely and sooner than others: infants and children elderly people individuals with respiratory conditions or sensitivities such as allergies or asthma persons having severely weakened immune systems (for example, people with HIV infection, chemotherapy patients, organ transplant recipients) " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
