Does Mold Cause Problems?
What are molds? Well molds according to the basic definition are living organisms which are classified under the kingdom fungi and grow and feed upon dead and decaying matter present in the environment. Upon broader view these are a great source of distress and can develop on anything from belts, shoes, carpets, under air conditioning ducts, a damp place, food etc. with the help of a little moisture and the complete absence of sunlight because the UV rays present in the sunlight are an inhibitor to the growth of these organisms.
Should a normal person be concerned regarding molds in their house? Yes, absolutely because molds can cause various problems such as:
- Giving a bad odor to the house
- Making walls or places where it is developing very dirty and bad looking
- It can cause various allergies because the body resists any foreign particles which enter the body, these allergies if ignored may grow to severe conditions which further result in the inability for a person to even tolerate low amounts of molds
- It can cause various problems such as damaging internal organs, cancer and death in certain cases if the mold is toxic to human body
- It can cause various infections to humans, this is done as various spores released by the molds enter the human body through nose or mouth and they start developing in internal organs such as lungs or respiratory tract. This can cause internal bleeding and even death in some cases. This is very much likely to occur to people who have a low immunity and or are of old age.
