Toxic Mold Inspectors Health Effects And Scientifc Literature

We have recently seen that some mold inspectors are quoting the
article titled "Indoor Mold, Toxigenic Fungi, and Stachybotrys
chartarum" and other similar scientific articles to support the
belief that toxic molds poison people in their homes. A link to
the article is listed below. It looks as if the article is
stating that toxic molds are very toxic to homeowners or even
deadly. Mold inspectors who hastily review such articles come to
such conclusions because they do not understand what the highly
technical scientific article is talking about. This and other
similar articles on the topic of toxic mold effects are
discussing not what happens when a home owner breathes in mold
spores released by Stachybotrys or other toxic molds. The article
is talking about the effects of toxic mold toxins / mycotoxins
when these toxins are eating in foods contaminated with toxic
molds, or the effects of mold toxins when animals in the lab are
injected with mold toxins directly into the body or nasal
passages. Sometimes such articles site cases where industry
workers were made ill by toxic mold exposure after working around
clouds of organic dust and mold spores for extended periods of
time. Such conditions contain millions of spores per cubic meter
or air as opposed to the hundreds or thousands of spores
encountered in most moldy homes and offices. This article may
have been used by mold inspectors to support the view that toxic
molds will poison you. In fact, this article and many others have
been taken out of context. This article and other scientific
articles like it support the view that there is no solid evidence
that toxic mold will poison you when breathed in at levels found
in even very moldy homes. Such articles do not typically state
that it could never happen, but that there is not significant
scientific evidence that mold in levels found in residential and
office setting has poisoned people.
What Can Mold Do
* Toxic or not toxic mold is not trivial, in fact mold growth in
your home or office can cause serious non toxin related health
problems such as severe allergy or asthma. Such conditions can be
more serious and more debilitating than many people realize.
* Mold can make your home uninhabitable for your family and
nearly impossible for you to sell. Selling a home with a mold
problem that you hide can easily get you and your Realtor sued.
We have seen many homes, condos, and trailers, from Key West to
Miami, and West Palm Beach empty because they were to moldy to
live in and just entering the properties can be quite unpleasant.
* Ignored mold problems can get worse over time and can become
extremely difficult and expensive to resolve. Ignoring a mold
problem can cause a two thousand dollar mold removal job to
become a two hundred thousand dollar mold removal job.
* Mold can cause flu-like symptoms in mold removal workers if
they are not wearing proper protective gear.
* Mold can cause serious and even deadly infections, but this
typically occurs in persons who have a weak immune system. In
2006 we conducted an inspection for a Miami resident who had
Aspergillus mold growing in her lungs, and in 2008 we conducted
an investigation for a West Palm Beach lady who had just
recovered from mucormycosis. This is a condition where fast
growing molds grow in the sinuses. This condition is more serious
than your typical sinus infection. In fact, it can lead to death
in a few days.
* Mold can create foul smelling microbial volatile organic
compounds that in turn cause irritation resulting in allergy like
symptoms and have been shown to increase a child's chances of
developing asthma by 200%.
* In conclusion current scientific literature does not support
the belief that toxic black mold is a killer. However, mold of
any kind in your house, given the right environmental conditions,
has the potential to become a menace and cause serious allergy,
asthma, and other related health problems.
