What Is Toxic Mold and How Is It Harmful?
Protecting You From Toxic Mold
The Mycotoxins from toxic mold may be ingested through breathing or by penetration through the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes while exposure to higher concentrations, could contribute to permanent health related problems, or even be fatal. One type of toxic mold (Aspergillius) actually grows inside the lungs and causes permanent scarring. Chaetonium has been known to destroy the myelum sheath of the brain, causing sometimes permanent neurological disorders.
Black mold (Stachybotrys) can cause chronic bronchitis, learning disabilities, mental deficiencies, heart problems, cancer, multiple sclerosis, chronic fatigue syndrome, lupus, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple chemical sensitivities, bleeding lungs, and more.
Basement black mold, Grand RapidsYour home or workplace may or may not have it as bad as seen in this photo, but it is important to know that only one square inch of mold produces from 3-10 million spores. These spores range in size from .25 to 20 microns. Toxic mold releases Mycotoxins as small as .1 micron. These smaller spores and Mycotoxins cannot be trapped in HEPA filters used by air-scrubbers and negative air machines.
