Mold can cause health problems that range from itching eyes, sneezing and coughing to severe allergic reactions, asthma attacks and even permanent lung damage. Mold could be growing in your home right now.

It may not matter how neat and clean you are. Some mold just keeps coming back as fast as you get rid of it because it comes from inside the walls or above the ceiling. Households usually find it on walls, floors, ceilings, carpets and fabrics exposed to moisture, one particularly troublesome hiding place is inside the ductwork and associated components of central forced-air heating and air-conditioning systems. Many notice it in the shower area.

Watch for when you start up your central heating systems. Many find themselves suddenly coughing, wheezing and sneezing. The forced air circulates mold spores found naturally in the air through parts of the system that often have dust on their surfaces.

Many molds survive by eating dust then all the spore needs is moisture, including humidity in the air itself.

Because it can hide inside a wall and in heating and air conditioning ductwork it can be expensive to find.

If there does not appear to be actively growing mold in the heating system, additional testing may be necessary if people detect spores or are getting sick.

Air samples taken by an expert are needed if high levels are detected that warrant further investigation.

Leaks from apartments or appliances on the floor above can saturate the wood, wallboard and insulation in walls and ceilings, creating an ideal incubator.

I got tested for mold and discovered I got very irritable when it was scratched into my skin. So mind your moods and develop your lungs. Take the Free Breathing Test regularly.
