Mold remediation is the process of removing unwanted fungus from your home. If gone unchecked, mold growth can cause property damage and even pose a serious threat to your family’s health. Rather than risking your safety, America’s Best Cleaning & Restoration Services in Rochester, MN, recommends researching this fungus and understanding exactly why you should be concerned for your health.

While mold can affect you in more ways than one, check out these common health risks to humans:

• Respiratory Issues: The word “mold” refers to a wide range of fungi that grow in damp and usually dark places. Mold spreads via spores, which are carried in the air and deposited on surfaces. If you breathe these spores in, then there’s a likely chance that you will experience problems breathing. Symptoms can vary from difficulty breathing and coughing to a full allergic reaction.
• Fatigue: Mold spores don’t just find their way into your lungs. When they enter the body, they are disseminated throughout, thus prompting a full-body response. You may recognize this as a flu-like symptom, where you feel extremely fatigued and tired and possibly can’t think clearly.
• Vomiting: In a worst case scenario—and particularly where black mold is growing—there’s a chance that exposure to mold could even induce vomiting. This is a scenario when mold remediation services are particularly important, since it may end with a visit to the emergency room.

Mold remediation is necessary to protect your health and prevent property damage to the structure of your home or business. Just because you are not experiencing these symptoms does not mean that there is not mold inside of your home.
