Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms (sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and skin rash). Mold also can cause asthma attacks in asthmatics allergic to mold. Mold can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throats and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. People with weakened immune systems or chronic illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may develop mold infections in their lungs. For some people, a relatively small number of mold spores can trigger an asthma attack or lead to other health problems. For other people, symptoms may occur only when exposure levels are much higher.

Mold issues are something everyone should be aware of and know how to combat. Search through news source and you will see that toxic mold is a common cause for school closings. If the school board will go through such measures to eradicate the problem then we should be just as cautious. It is also important to remember that like all other types of fungus, there are some people who may be more sensitive to the effects of mold. People who have allergies, respiratory disease or any type of immune suppressing disease should be especially wary of this toxic mold.
