Mold removal specialists in Kennesaw are sometimes asked about potential physical symptoms by homeowners whose houses may be contaminated with mold. Obviously, any individual who believes they may be suffering from an illness should seek qualified medical advice from a licensed physician, ASAP. Complaints most often associated with mold do tend to fall into very broad and often indefinite categories. Proper diagnosis requires, first and foremost, a thorough consultation with your doctor. Once other potential physical causes are eliminated, inspection and testing of your home by professional mold removal specialists in Kennesaw can help rule in or rule out toxic mold contamination as a possible source, or secondary contributor, to symptoms like these.
Short-Term Exposure To Mold
Allergy-like symptoms, particularly in individuals with no prior history of allergic reactions. These can include sneezing, watery and itchy eyes and skin irritation with no known cause. Headaches are also a frequent part of the profile of short-term mold exposure.
Long-Term Exposure To Mold
Individuals living in a house contaminated by mold may receive a daily dose of toxic airborne spores that far exceeds the levels typically encountered outdoors. It's especially true in today's energy-efficient houses that are tightly sealed against air infiltration and typically under-ventilated. The ongoing, long-term exposure to high levels of mold spores creates a pattern that may include these symptoms:
- Chronic fatigue and constant headaches.
- Breathing difficulties and coughing.
- Digestive disorders such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhea, as well as loss of appetite.
- Weight loss.
- Chronic ear and sinus infections.
- Skin afflictions including rashes and open sores.
- Short-term memory loss, depression and nervous disorders.
- Muscle and joint pain with no obvious origin.
