Yikes! According to reports in 2004 by the Institute of Medicine, indoor exposure to mold has the potential to cause upper respiratory tract symptoms like coughing and wheezing in people who could be considered healthy otherwise. For individuals with asthma or those with weakened immune systems, different types of mold can cause a variety of illnesses some minor and others serious. Most people will experience symptoms more closely related to allergies such as watery eyes, runny noses, and possibly rashes. It’s best to get this looked at by a professional to evaluate the risk involved!
