Mold is stealth and will slowly
creep into your home and create nuances of havoc with your family's
health.
The
symptoms that black mold produces in your home are very subtle. The
huge
symptoms of totally bed ridden health problems come after long,
continuous exposure. In fact, as your health
slowly declines, you won't
even notice that you aren't as healthy as you used to be.
Mold, fungus, and mildew are all practically the same. They are formed
by airborne microscopic spores that attach themselves to a nice moist
food source. Do you have
drywall
construction, wall paper, wood frame, carpet, humid bathrooms, a
basement, an attic? If you said yes, then read on because
you need to be aware of the symptoms of black mold exposure
so that you know
when you must take decisive and smart action.
Black mold feeds on cellulose, wood based, organic material. It can
feed on
house dust! It can feed on the paper covering of drywall! Mold will
feed on any fabric, anything organic, and many of the items that are in
your home and items that comprise your home.
Black mold is a single cell organism produced by spores. When these
single
cells group together and reproduce, you will notice a mold spot
somewhere. That means there are thousands of cells. These mold colonies
are what are big enough for us to see. They produce millions of spores
that float on any air stream throughout the house.
The reason black mold within your house is an issue is because it is a
sealed
environment. The mold spores aren't blown away out of your home. They
are spread throughout your home and continue growing and reproducing.
Because your home is well insulated from the outside, it is also well
insulated from the inside. These mold
spores can't escape and will eventually increase their population large
enough to effect your living conditions and health. Quite
literally a population explosion! Do you live in a well insulated home?
If the answer is yes, you may need more mold prevention knowledge.
Have you ever noticed that as autumn ends that your yard's grass
becomes dormant and then in the spring after some sunshine and rain it
begins to thrive again?
Mold will go dormant as well. So, if you had a leak in your bathroom,
fixed it, and then cleaned up the mold, you probably will still have
mold colonies within the walls or the floor. The reason is the
mold will go dormant due to the moistue being cut off, but it won't
die! In other words, even though you have cut off exactly what mold
needs to grow - IT's STILL ALIVE.
Should there be more leakage, or should there be adequate humidity, the
mold will begin to thrive around you again. So in essence, the mold
will continue
to impact your home even after you've cleaned up the colony that is
showing. It will continue to efffect you when you have cut off its
water supply. That's why "How
to Get Rid of Black Mold" is the ultimate
solution.
