Your health is your wealth. We already face the worries of catching COVID-19 outside our homes and workplace .  But what few don’t realize is the similarity of symptoms between this virus and the physical signs of MOLD ONSET. Among the top health effects linked to mold exposure are allergic reactions and respiratory difficulty. A lot of people mistake mold exposure symptoms for not having a strong immune system. Or even make an appointment to do a rapid COVID-19 test. When in fact it could just be an allergic reaction to mold. 

The side effects of mold are extensive. Some experience runny noses, skin rash, and headaches while others can go through congestion, eye irritation, sore throat, and even skin rashes. “The CDC reported that in 2004 The Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthmas symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition. People with allergies may Be more sensitive to mold. People with immune suppression or underlying disease are more susceptible to fungal infections.” Physical symptoms of mold don’t stop there. It has been documented that people have experienced nerve damage from toxic mold exposure. The inflammation mold has on the body can lead to long-lasting effects physically and have cognitive impairment as well.
