Wondering If You Have

Toxic Mold?

In the begining stages, mold growth may not even be

noticable to you, especially since mold can't even be seen

until it starts to grow. Anyhow, there are some signs you

can search for and one of the very first things you

should be asking if you're wondering if you need to start

testing for toxic mold is: how have I been feeling

lately? Exposure to toxic mold carries  a serious heath

risk and testing for mold should not be delayed too long. If

allowed to go unchecked, toxic mold exposure can develop

a whole host of critical health problems and the list of

ones that are very serious is staggering: difficulty

breathing, hemorrhaging in the lungs, pulmonary

hemorrhage, cancer, kidney failure,

seizures,problems speaking, hearing loss, and even

osteopenia and damage to your digestive or respiratory system.

(The non-serious systems include rashes, eye irritation,

sneezing fits, fatigue and irritability.)

However, because the symptoms can be so extreme, if

any of this sounds familiar, have your home tested for toxic

mold! Next, in its later stages, mold will become visible to

the eye. One of the very first ways people test for mold is to

do an assessment. Basically, someone goes around the home

and inspects it. Experts can determine how much mold

has infected the house by how much mold is visible to the

naked eye. They also check for odor as part of their

process of testing for toxic mold. They tend to zero in

on areas where there are visible signs of moisture

problems like leaky pipes or a leaky roof. The next step is

actually testing for toxic mold. Experts gather samples of

everything in the home. They take samples of the air quality

and test the level of toxic mold spores. They also take

surface samples like dust samples to test. Once the tests are

completed, an expert can come in and remove both the mold and

then pinpoint the things that caused it to grow.
