Dr. Jay Davidson wrote a blog article on the topic of “The Safest and Healthiest Ways to Manage Mold.”
From the article:
Although the symptoms for some people exposed to toxic mold may not be as significant as they are for others – constant exposure to dangerous spores will eventually affect everyone, regardless of their fitness level, general health, ethnicity, or age. Whether you live in dry, or wet climates, you’re equally at risk when it comes to suffering from mold-based poisoning. What’s more, up to 28% of the population suffer from genetic conditions that make them particularly predisposed to severe mold reactions. In other words, 75 million people across the US could be experiencing serious medical problems as a result of mold exposure.
Part of what makes mold especially dangerous, is the fact that we simply don’t know how to kill it properly. In fact, the dead mold that we wipe off the surface of bathtubs and kitchen tiles with bleach can dissolve into tiny fragments which you can then inhale into your body. On top of that, mold spores and toxins can make their way into almost anything, from clothing and books, to bedding and furniture.
It’s no wonder that many experts suggest that those with a severe mold problem should leave their home with nothing but their driver’s license.
