Asthma is nothing to joke about, and when paired with mold can be very dangerous and detrimental to your health.
Mold is a type of microscopic fungi that can be found anywhere. It grows best in damp environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Mold creates tiny spores that reproduce and spread. When these spores are inhaled, it can bring on an asthma attack.
Many actions can be taken to prevent those with asthma. It’s important you keep air flowing throughout your home, especially in areas known for mold growth. Maintain low indoor humidity, between 30-50%, as high humidity tends to be a major breeding ground for mold. Fix any leaks, as soon as possible, to keep the mold from growing. If you do come in visual contact with mold or smell it’s musty odor, it’s best you contact a professional.
