Mold Symptoms-Not to be taken lightly

Mold SymptomsMolds are small microscopic organisms and form a part of the nature. These molds are fungi that live on animal and plant matter. The molds are present in huge number of species and help in the breakdown of organic matter such as leaves, soil and foods. This breakdown of the dead material results in the recycle of the nutrients in the environment. The best place for the molds to grow is humid and damp conditions reproducing by making spores that in turn are spread through water, air and insects. These molds can cause serious allergic reactions to those who are highly sensitive and can create serious problem if they grow in buildings. There are numerous kinds of molds however the most common being toxic molds, allergenic molds and black molds.

The molds are around us all the time and as they are micro organisms they are invisible to the naked eye. These even come in different colors most commonly in white, black and green. The molds are continuously producing and releasing pores and hence can cause allergies. Some common symptoms to mold exposure are eye irritation, cough, throat irritation, headache, skin irritation, difficulty in breathing and sinus congestion. The mold symptoms may be different for every person and can also differ in terms of intensity.

When a person is attacked by molds, initially he suffers from itching in the eyes, cough, rashes in the various body parts, nasal congestion and wheezing. However, if the person suffering from such allergy does not get himself diagnosed then this allergy may lead to serious mental problem as well. A main symptom for mold allergy is the person having a terror in his mind for damp and moldy houses. This may lead in hampering in getting a sound sleep as the problem increases during the night.

People who suffer from mold allergies may also feel changes in their way of thinking. Excessive fear, depression and rapid increase in the pulse rate are also some Mold Symptoms. People may get panicked resulting in unmatchable heartbeat and even suffer from fits of energy loss. A sudden shudder from just the thought of a physical activity and pain in body's major joints leading to arthritis also are strong mold symptoms. The appearance of a problem in the stomach associated with the Irritable Bowels Syndrome is also mold symptom.

If a person is an asthmatic patient then the mold allergy can become a serious problem for him. The symptom of this is if for a person acute coughing and short breathes are accompanied by difficulty in taking rest and in lying down. The person may feel restless due to the inability to breath. This may result in being highly painful and dangerous and will require an immediate assistance of a doctor.

The suffering from the mold allergy can be for different durations depending upon the place where a person is staying and the weather. If the mold allergy is due to the outdoor molds then it may continue for even a year. However the allergy can only be for some months if it is due to indoor molds. These symptoms can be noticed effectively during rainy and damp season or when a person suffering form mold allergy visits a place highly concentrated with molds.

Toxic Mold Symptoms With Some Overlapping Preexisting Symptoms? Possible Legal Issue w/ Issue?
Hi. I have been living in my apartment duplex for 2 years and I have recently discovered black mold, but I believe it has been then longer than I have noticed hidden behind wall paint and under the carpet. I display some symptoms of toxic black mold poisoning such as memory loss, inability to concentrate, fatigue, depression, and irritated lungs, but before I moved in I was treated with depression. Just last year I was diagnosed with ADD I have been taking Adderall since then. I feel like my mental condition has worsened ever since I moved in, and I feel better when I am away from the apartment though its hard to separate the objective from the subjective The problem is that some of these symptoms overlap. My question is are specialized doctors able to do blood tests or other testing to find if my body has been exposed to toxic mold? What kind of testing can be done? The easy answer is to just move out, which I am, but I ask this question because the landlord has handled the situation so poorly that I want justice to be served because of his attitude and how poorly he has handled my situation. He won't do a mold inspection because he thinks the entire industry is and I quote "a giant scam" preying on health fears. He told me he doesn't want to have the house condemned and doesn't want to fork over the thousands of dollars to fix the problem. My concern is that if I have take this to court they will bring up my past mental related medical history. Can they do this? Would it be too hard to separate the two in court?

Could this be mold exposure?
I recently removed rotted wet wood from under kitchen sink. That same night I had trouble sleeping and was coughing alot. I also swept up alot of dust from that area but wasn't using a dust mask. I typically will have respiratory problems when sweeping alot of dust but this was such a small area so I didn't think it was necessary. Now I don't know if I have been exposed to mold or if my allergy like symptoms are from sweeping the dust. I have slight nasal congestion, cough for 2 days that have been improving but there was some wheezing after first 24 hours. How long does it take for mold symptoms to show up and are these symptoms of toxic/black mold?
