Mold is a household name, but before we get to how you can remove it from your life for good let's take some time in the here and now. Mold comes in many shapes and sizes. Mold spores float through the air looking for an opportunity to grow on something moist - like your bathroom, attic or basement. These little guys have been around since before humans existed, so to fight them you need to know about them. Mold testing involves taking samples of surfaces in your home and sending them to a lab for analysis for detailed information about your "neighbor".
Different kinds of mold, but the most common include:
But the most dangerous is so called "black mold" - Stachybotrys. It is toxic. You can't define it with a naked eye - only mold testing by professional sampling.
You should not allow mold to grow in your house or workplace as the spores of some mold species like black mold can cause health problems including allergy symptoms like red and watery eyes, sore throat as well as rashes to some people if inhaled in large numbers. Therefore, consider calling a mold specialist for inspection and perhaps mold testing and removal services in case you suspect or spot the organisms at your place.
