Mold isn t naturally a harmful poison. In fact, mold has

a  invaluable role in the natural cycle of the world.

There are about 3,000 kinds of mold that have been identified

by scientists so far, and it s usually thought that there are

many more types of mold waiting to be identified. Molds

naturally break down organic matter and help recycle it so that

other living organisms can use it as energy. However, when

mold creeps into areas it shouldn t be, then

it begins to cause health issues.

 

How do you determine if you have mold? Well, to

begin, search for a several key symptoms that point to

toxic mold. The list of symptoms linked with toxic mold

is very long. And to make things harder, they are so mild at

first that people jus think that they simply have a cold

or the flu, or that their allergies are just flaring up, when

in reality they have toxic mold symptoms from being exposed to

toxic mold. And unfortunately because people falsley assume

that their health issues are not dangerous, they don

t understand that they have to have their home tested for

toxic mold and before the situation becomes worse. Toxic mold

symptoms appear to be like the flu at first: nausea and

fatigue.

 

At any rate, the symptoms that form soon after are very

different: having a hard time breathing, headaches, a cough,

red eyes, memory loss, dizziness, loss of concentration, and even

getting rashes or hives. The most complicated of these

toxic mold symptoms are bleeding in the lungs, irregular blood

pressure and even harmful damage in the digestive and respiratory

part of the body! Of course, there are many more toxic

mold symptoms that may take place as well. The worst

among these is pulmonary hemorrhage, osteopenia, failure of the

kidneys, cancer, trouble with speech, seizures, hearing loss and

even a higher risk of tuberculosis. Less complicated toxic

mold symptoms include sudden hair loss, personality changes,

sneezing fits, tremors, irritability, and diarrhea.
