Mold Toxicity Exposure

mold toxicity in Murrieta

Mold is a fungus that grows in damp places. Any structure with a water leak or damp zones is susceptible to mold growth. In fact, it’s estimated that about 70% of homes in the United States contain mold. You may also breathe in mold spores while at work, shopping, or just walking down the street in some areas. That’s why the professionals at Hoyt Integrative Health are committed to offering holistic care for mold toxicity exposure in Temecula and Murrieta, CA.

Dangers of Mold Toxicity Exposure

Toxic black mold thrives in moist conditions. It can infest any area of a home, overtaking carpeting, drywall, sub-flooring, and insulation. It’s often allowed to grow out of control because it’s hidden underneath carpeting, behind walls, or within attics and basements that aren’t visited often. As a result, home and building inhabitants may start to feel the physical effects of breathing in mold spores before they ever see the problem.

As it feeds on a home or building, mold releases spores that are invisible in the air. Those spores are inhaled by humans and pets, causing health problems. It can cause respiratory problems, sinusitis, or long-term health problems that are difficult to resolve. Anytime you inhale air that is contaminated with mold, you’ve experienced exposure to toxic mold. Occasional or short-term exposure may lead only to mild allergic symptoms or no symptoms at all. However, long-term exposure can cause more significant health problems.

Symptoms of Mold Exposure

Some people may experience some of these symptoms of toxic mold exposure right away. They may have reactions similar to seasonal allergies. Common signs of toxic mold exposure include:

    • Chronic coughing

    • Chronic sneezing

    • Skin rash

    • Chronic fatigue

    • Nausea

    • Vomiting

    • Nosebleeds

    • Recurring headaches

    • Eye irritation
