Understanding the Mold Health Effects Spring brings along and taking appropriate measures can help you protect your home and loved ones.Health Effects of MoldWhen mold finds a damp spot in your home, it starts taking roots. It thrives in areas like bathrooms, kitchens, basements, floods spots, or crawl spaces. The fungus can cause a myriad of health problems. In particular, black mold, which appears black or greenish, releases Mycotoxins, which can trigger allergic responses in some individuals.Those with weakened immune systems or allergic susceptibilities could inhale the fungus, leading to the development of respiratory issues. Mold spores that float in the air can settle on natural materials such as wood or damp wall\/drywall and start proliferating when provided with food and water.Mold in Long Island HomesFor residents of Long Island, mold can be a particular concern thanks to the region\u2019s seasonal fluctuations and regional humidity.
