Stern Mold

As adults, we don’t want to take the chance for any health risks and expose ourselves to mold, and mold treatment is the best option. Yet, as bad as it is for adults, increasing evidence suggests it is far worse for kids than previously determined.

Reactive Airway Disease

Usually associated with asthma, although they are not one and the same, reactive airway disease can be influenced by many types of airborne particles, particularly mold spores. Mold spores can adversely affect a child’s immune system, so later in life there may be an increased negative reaction to inhaled antigens of all types.

If your child does have asthma, or any type of reactive airway disease, mold spores are known to bring on asthma attacks. If exposure is excessive, there’s a possibility that the child may develop hemorrhagic pneumonia, or worse – deaths have also been reported.

Don’t Take Chances

If you see any signs that there is a mold infestation in your home, particularly in places that are damp, like bathrooms or laundry rooms, get it checked out. Granted, no one wants to be exposed to any type of mold spores, but research now proves that it may be far worse for kids than what was formerly known.
