Black mold and its various symptoms
We often hear that inhalation or contact with black mold can cause nasty black mold symptoms like runny nose, itchy eyes, and breathing trouble with associated signs of asthma. There is even mention of more serious symptoms. They are very common in buildings and homes and grow where there is excessive humidity and moisture. In fact, they grow both indoors and outdoors. They can enter your house from various routes like open doorways, windows and via air conditioning and heating ducts. You can even spot them on the inside surfaces of walls where there is excessive water seepage on account of rains. Some of the most common indoor species of molds are Penicillium, Aspergillus, Cladosporium and Alternaria. Some building materials act as catalysts for the growth of black molds. These include paper and paper products, wood and wood products, cardboard, ceiling tiles, and wet cellulose materials. Other household stuff that allows fast growth of molds includes insulation material, carpets, upholstery and some fabrics. Black mold symptoms arise because molds tend to attach themselves to human beings and animals and often shoes, clothing, bags and domestic pets are carriers of the allergen.
