Stern Mold

By now there is a sizable body of evidence about the connection between mold and illness, but do you know what symptoms to watch for? If you or members of your family begin experiencing these signs, consult your primary care physician about a possible mold-related illness.

Upper Respiratory Problems

Since mold spores are inhaled, they most commonly trigger allergic reactions such as sneezing, coughing and itchy, runny eyes. Even people who don’t normally suffer from allergies can have these reactions from excessive exposure to mold. Individuals with immune deficiencies or pre-existing lung conditions can develop more serious issues such as asthma or hypersensitivity pneumonitis.

Unexplained Muscle Pain

Muscle cramps and so-called “pin-prick” pains, in the absence of vigorous physical activity, sometimes occur after contact with mold.

Depression

Researchers have discovered a link between damp, moldy living quarters and depression. At least part of the cause is attributed to the reality of poor living conditions and lack of control over the surroundings.

Digestive Troubles

Exposure to mold can affect your digestive system, resulting in nausea, diarrhea or stomach cramps. Unexplained weight gain can also be a sign of a mold-related illness.

Numbness in Extremities

After contact with mold, some people experience the pins-and-needles sensation identified with numbness in their hands and feet.
