Mold grows in spaces where it is damp like basements, attics, kitchens, bathrooms, or areas that have been flooded. Black mold is greenish or black. Individuals with a weak immune system or allergic conditions could inhale the fungus and develop respiratory issues. The fungus can cause a wide plethora of health problems. It leads to the production of Mycotoxins – which can trigger allergic reactions in some people.
Mold starts developing when tiny mold seeds floating in the air, settle on organic substances. It could be wood, cotton, paper and wet wall/drywall. This fungus starts taking roots when it gets food and water.
