The Official Black Mold Removal Guide

Black mold effects are not only damaging to homes and businesses, they can also be damaging to humans and animals. And even worse, they can be deadly in those with weak immune systems, small pets and babies.

And from experience I can tell you that black mold really can do some severe damage. You see, several years ago I was unfamiliar with the fungus and the damage it could cause. I found myself coughing every single night that I slept in my bedroom and the symptoms were only getting worse.

At one point I thought it was a flu or pneumonia that wouldn’t go away. I kept telling my spouse I was very sick and didn’t know why. I began making guesses and in the end just simply assumed that I had a weak immune system.

Then when I moved I found myself removed from the situation and realized that my toxic mold symptoms were going away. It was not long after that when I learned that I had been affected by toxic mold in my bedroom. I soon learned that this dangerous fungus can grow on wood, tiles, wall paneling, cardboard, cotton, drywall, insulation and practically anywhere moisture is present.

I also learned that the symptoms of toxic mold sickness were nothing to sneeze about.  When a person is exposed to elevated levels of toxic mold poisoning, they may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

Allergies – The most common symptoms associated with mold and mildew. What many people believe is just a change in the weather outdoors, may actually be something more serious.

Asthma – As with allergies, asthma is another common symptom that many people mistake for seasonal weather changes.

Bleeding Lungs – A little less common in adults, but can cause deadly results in small children and pets.

Recurring Colds – Even if you have a weak immune system, a cold is practically never ending could be a sign of toxic fungus in your home!

Chronic Coughing – This is a symptom that can easily be associated with colds. It’s also the very same reason I assumed I had pneumonia at one point.

Fatigue – Another symptom I had that is very common with toxic molds. I found myself tired all of the time and assumed it was due to my sickness.

Headaches – I remember when I used to get a lot of migraine headaches and could never figure out why the sudden health issue. I had never had migraines in my life. I haven’t had any since then either. Well, now I know.
 
Many other effects that can be brought on by toxic mold are kidney failure, learning difficulties, memory loss, runny nose, seizures or dizziness, sinus congestion, sleep disorders such as insomnia, sore throat, lightheadedness and vomiting. And unfortunately the list goes on and on.

The bad news is, your doctor may not be able to determine if your symptoms are actually caused by the effects of black mold since they are so easily associated with other health problems.

The good news is, if you find that you do have toxic mold in your home and are able to remove them, your symptoms could go away. But first things first, you have to remove the dangers from your home! Otherwise your health will never get better.
