Mold can affect your lungs, blood stream and even your brain health.

Exposure to mold such as black mold can actually kill you by killing off your brain cells so it's very important to suit up properly when dealing with mold and you should get rid of mold in your house as soon as possible.

Breathing in mold spores can irritate eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs and cause asthma to get worse and cause life threatening infections of your immune systems especially in older people.

Nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing are some other symptoms of exposure to mold.
