Mold can cause a variety of illnesses and sickness in people, especially children, the elderly, and anyone immuno-compromised, asthmatic or allergic. Each individual is unique and your susceptibility will vary with the degree and amount of exposure to mold. If you or anyone in your family is experiencing headaches, runny nose, watery eyes, itchy skin, difficulty breathing, rashes, fatigue, or trouble concentrating or sleeping, it is highly recommended that you seek appropriate medical care. However, because many internists and general family doctors are not well versed in the effects of exposure to toxic mold and its physical and mental health effects, many times these symptoms are overlooked or regarded as normal.
