Mold growing in your walls or other unseen corners of your home is never healthy, but some are much worse than others. Black mold is so toxic it must be removed by professionals trained in hazardous mold removal, and it can cause a wide variety of health conditions with many different symptoms. Rainbow Environmental Services has years of experience removing mold and other dangerous substances from homes throughout the greater Cincinnati area.

If you or members of your household are experiencing the following health complaints, you may be living with a black mold infestation:

• Many people have an allergic reaction to mold spores, which usually causes respiratory complaints. Chronic coughing and sneezing are common symptoms, and take note if existing conditions like asthma are worse at home than anywhere else.
• Spores in the air will also cause itchy, watery eyes and irritation in your nose and throat.
• Some people will present with skin rashes and may even develop fungal infections.
• Over time, you may develop feelings of chronic fatigue and persistent headaches.
• Some people experience more violent reactions and could suffer from vomiting, nausea, and even bleeding in the nose and lungs.
• People with respiratory illnesses are especially vulnerable and may actually suffer from mold infections in their lungs and throat.

Molds are present to some extent in almost every environment, whether indoors or outside.
