Mold does NOT need light to reproduce and to grow. Toxic mold grows well in both hot and cold climates [such as Alaska and Canada], and up to six miles high. Mold has NO natural enemies [except for the sun's ultraviolet rays], and thus no predator eats mold. Animals, plants, bacteria, and viruses do NOT eat mold. Mold is a non-stop PREDATOR that eats animal & human flesh, as well as plant life! Mold grows well in homes, condominiums, apartments, offices, and other work places and buildings because most property owners and managers: 1. do not properly maintain building roofs, exterior siding, windows, heating, ventilating, & air conditioning equipment and ducts (HVAC), plumbing supply and sewer lines, and plumbing fixtures to prevent water intrusion, water leaks, and flooding. 2. fail to quickly find, detect, search for, & repair water and other plumbing problems, water leaks and sewer breaks, broken water pipe lines, dripping water, running water, flooding, flood damage, high indoor humidity (above 60%), mold damage problems, mold infestation, and mold contamination Test the damaged area for toxic mold growth by using do it yourself lift tape sampling, or by hiring a Certified Mold Inspector.

"Most homeowners believe as long as they do not see visible signs of mold, that is, patches of green, blue, or black discoloration on surfaces, their environment is free of contamination. What they don't realize, however, is that large accumulations of [hidden or concealed] mold may be growing in areas that they cannot see, like air ducts, remote attic or basement spaces, or wall cavities. Left to multiply, these infestations may produce enough organic compounds to cause allergic reactions, sickness and, in extreme cases, death (a possibility with infants)," Edward R. Lipinski, "HOME CLINIC: The Battle Against Mold and Mildew," New York Times, 9/12/99. Mold warning signs: The top, most-common mold health symptoms, symptoms of mold exposure, symptoms of deadly or unhealthy black mold and toxic mold, symptoms of mold poisoning, and mold health problems are listed below, in alphabetical order.

A 300% increase in the asthma rate over the past 20 years has been linked to molds," Source: USA WEEKEND, Dec. 3-5, 1999 Mold Health Guide - 2011 Edition for only $15 "Exposure to certain types of fungi, known as toxic mold, can cause a serious [allergic] reaction. If you're unlucky, this is the kind of mold you have. If you're really unlucky, your toxic mold will gird for battle and go to war, secreting chemicals called mycotoxins, which can find their way into your body, entering through your nose, mouth, and skin, lodging perhaps in your digestive tract, your lungs, or your brain. Among these toxins are trichothecenes, which were rumored to have been used as a biological weapon during the wars in Afghanistan and Vietnam," Lisa Belkin warned, "Haunted by Mold," NEW YORK TIMES, Aug. 13, 2001. "All molds have the potential to cause health effects. Molds can produce allergens that can trigger allergic reactions or even asthma attacks in people allergic to mold. Others are known to produce potent toxins and/or irritants. Potential health concerns are an important reason." The U.S. EPA, March, 2001. The U.S. Government Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) warns people that "Most people are aware that outdoor air pollution can damage their health but may not know that indoor air pollution can also have significant effects. EPA studies of human exposure to air pollutants indicate that indoor air levels of many pollutants may be 2-5 times, and occasion more than 100 times, higher than outdoor levels. These levels of indoor air pollutants are of particular concern because it is estimated that most people spend as much as 90% of their time indoors. In recent years, comparative risk studies performed by EPA and its Science Advisory Board (SAB) have consistently ranked indoor air pollution among the top five environmental risks to public health." Ninety four percent (94%) of all respiratory ailments are caused by polluted air according to the American Medical Association, which also reported that one-third of our national health bill is for causes directly attributable to indoor air pollution. Mold Health Guide - 2011 Edition for only $15.00 "Even if mold in your house doesn't cause you any medical problems, if it becomes established in the wood in your home, 'dry rot' may form. Dry rot can result in a homeowner's nightmare. When the mold dies, the wood dries and then shrinks, breaking up into irregular chunks. Cracks in the wood fiber then act like straws, siphoning up moisture and carrying it to undamaged portions of the wood. Left unchecked, this process keeps recurring, continually rotting more wood, and can cause severe structural damage to your home," warned Vicki Lankarge, from: insure.com "Mold problems have become more prevalent because of increased use of cheaper building materials like plasterboard and plywood, which are more prone to growing mold when wet...Mold, as always, is spreading. But so is mold litigation, to the consternation of the insurance industry. Last week a state court in Austin, Texas, awarded Melinda Ballard and her family $32.1 million in a case involving allegedly extensive mold damage to their Dripping Springs, Texas, house. The jury ruled that Farmers Insurance Group had failed to properly address Ms. Ballard's original water-damage and mold claim and committed fraud in its handling of her claim," noted Christopher Oster, "Insurers Blanch At Proliferation of Mold Claims," WALL STREET JOURNAL, June 6, 2001. Mold Health Guide - 2011 Edition for only $15.00 10 Mold Facts for Homeowners, Landlords, Tenants, & Employers 1. Airborne mold spores are everywhere both indoors and outdoors. Resident and employee health is at serious risk if there are elevated levels of mold spores indoors, as compared to an outdoor mold control test. 2. The most dangerous indoor molds are Alternaria, Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Fusarium, Mucor, Penicillium, and Stachybotrys. Mold testing and mold laboratory analysis are required to identify specific mold species. 3. Molds spores can cause serious health problems even if the spores are dead or dormant (inactive while waiting for more moisture to resume growth). Even the smell of dead or dormant mold can make some mold-sensitive persons ill. 4. It is impossible to get rid of all mold spores indoors. Some mold spores will always be present in house dust and floating in the air. 5. The mold spores will not grow into mold colonies if there is insufficient moisture. Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors. If organic materials are wet for more than 24 hours, mold growth can begin. 6. Mold grows by eating and destroying organic building materials and other cellulose-based materials such as carpeting, upholstery, and clothing. The longer that mold grows, the more mold damage to the building. 7. Cellulose is the main substance in the cell walls of plants (and thus of wood), and it is used in the manufacture of many organic building materials such as drywall, plasterboard, plywood substitutes, and ceiling tiles. 8. Mold can grow hidden and undetected inside wall and ceiling cavities; beneath wallpaper, paneling, and carpeting; and inside heating and cooling equipment and ducts, attics, crawl spaces, and basements. 9. Mold growth is often the result of a structural or construction defect, or of maintenance neglect, that allows moisture to enter the building. 10. The owner or employer must first fix the water problem (roof leak, plumbing leak, high indoor humidity) that enables the mold to grow. Effective mold remediation requires killing the mold with one of the Mold Home Remedy Recipes, removing it, and treating the cleaned area with a mold protective coating explained in the special report Mold Home Remedy Recipes.
