Mould inside your home or workplace can have significant effects on your health. Mould spores can be inhaled, causing irritation and inflammation of the airways which in turn causes congestion, difficulty in breathing, wheezing and coughing.
Exposure to mould can trigger chronic problems such as asthma and bronchitis. Many people are also allergic to mould. For these people, the respiratory symptoms may be triggered in addition to hay-fever like symptoms such as watery, itchy red eyes, headaches or migraines, rashes, tiredness and blocked sinuses.
Young children and infants, smokers, the elderly, and people with respiratory or heart conditions are particularly sensitive to mould. For the comfort and safety of you and your children, mould should be eradicated from your home or any place you spend significant time.
How to Prevent Mould
