Your Health is at Risk from the Mould

The mould in your house can be a serious health risk for you or for your family. The mould doesn't need much to grow in your house. If there is moisture and if there are nutrients (food) then there is quite big chance to have mould in your home. As long as you don't deal with any of these things, especially moisture, then you are at risk.

Mould has different effect on different individuals. This also depends on the level of exposure a person has been subject to. The health symptoms that you may associated with the mould are coughing, wheezing, nasal and throat conditions. And people with asthma or allergies are even more at risk because the mould can worsen their symptoms. Cleaners Camden warn that person's with weak immune system may even develop fungal respiratory infections.

Persons that are at greater risk than others should seek medical attention if they or anybody else think that they were exposed to mouldy environment. That goes for children, elderly people, individuals with asthma and allergies, person's with weak immune system (HIV infected, chemotherapy patients, organ transplant recipients).

But if you don't fall in any of the categories mentioned above that doesn't mean you are in the clear. The mould can still harm you. If I am not mistaken the Hollywood actress Brittany Murphy died at very young age and the cause for her death was the mould in her house. The mould can produce chemical compounds called mycotoxins, although that isn't necessary. Most moulds can produce potentially harmful substances such as allergens, mycotoxins, or other compounds, and all of them cause health problems.

Do not allow the mould to grow in your home under now circumstances. Set aside the fact that is hard to clean off, that is the least of your worries. The mould is so much more than the conventional dirt or filth that you have to clean off. According to many scientific researchers and even ordinary professional cleaners Camden the mould is serious health risk.
