Generally, it should be noted that the most common symptoms from exposure to mold in indoor environments are runny nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, aggravation of asthma, headache, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, and skin rash. However, Not everyone experiences allergic reaction; the susceptibility to exposure varies with the individual’s genetic predisposition, age, state of health, and concurrent exposures.
People’s reaction to mold exposure is quite varied, and although anyone can be affected, some people may be more susceptible and at greater risk, including:
- Infants and children
- The elderly
- Pregnant women
- Individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies and asthma
- Persons with weakened immune systems (e.g., chemotherapy patients, organ or bone marrow transplant recipients, and people with HIV infections or autoimmune diseases).
Once remediation has been performed, if necessary, we will return to the property and take a final sample set, called Clearance Mold Testing or Post Remediation Verification Testing. This will verify that the proper removal of mold has in fact taken place, and reassure you that your property no longer possesses the health and structural threat of mold.
