Answers:
What are Symptoms of mold exposure?
There are many symptoms of mold exposure. The extent of symptoms
depends on the sensitivity of the exposed person. Allergic reactions
are the most common and typically include: respiratory problems such
as wheezing and difficulty breathing; nasal and sinus congestion;
burning, watery, reddened eyes or blurry vision; sore throat; dry
cough; nose and throat irritation; shortness of breath; and skin
irritation.
Other less common effects are: nervous system problems (headaches,
memory loss, moodiness); aches and pains; and fever. If you have any
of these symptoms, and they are reduced or completely gone when you
leave the suspect area, chances are you have been exposed to some
sort of allergen, quite possibly mold.
