Another group found that they experienced a plethora of mucosal irritation, neurological, skin, and allergic symptoms. The reality of the situation is that when you are exposed to black mold you have the heightened potential to develop certain health conditions that can be quite damaging to your health.

Asthma & Allergies Two potential health conditions that one can develop from black mold exposure include asthma and allergies. It is estimated that approximately 10% of the population has IgE antibodies to common inhalant mold, meaning that a reaction will occur when they come into contact with the mold or mold spores in the environment. Allergies to mold are among the most prevalent health conditions developed from black mold exposure. Another health condition that could form from exposure to black mold is asthma. Asthma, although it is due to an allergic reaction, is not as strongly linked to mold as allergies are researchers have found. Mold-induced asthma is more prevalently found in children that are exposed to mold in their home or personal environment. Recent studies have found that infants at risk of developing asthma are those exposed to high concentrations of mold in the rst year of life. Can Black Mold Make You Sick? Illnesses Caused by Mold
