Mold Health Symptoms

If deprived of water,
dormant mold can survive without air,
food, and water for millions of years in a hostile environment waiting for moisture or water and
food to restart and to spread mold sickness and illness, toxic mold spores, mold growth, mold
infestation, and mold contamination.

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
-
HVAC equipment
and ducts
-
plumbing fixtures
-
water lines
-
sewer lines
to prevent water intrusion.

Toxic Mold

Your Home and Your Health!
"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 signs. A mold victim may experience one or more symptoms
or mold illness---
"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.

"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 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.
