Mold has sometimes been blamed for a wide array of health problems — everything from fatigue to neuropsychiatric disorders — and while experts can't definitively say that mold doesn't contribute at all to these and other more serious illnesses, a recent study sponsored by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention doesn't support the association.
The study does say, however, that mold and damp conditions in homes can adversely affect people with asthma and can cause coughing, wheezing, and upper respiratory tract symptoms.
Whether or not people feel their health is affected by mold, no one wants to see it, especially in their homes. And the idea of having to clean up a moldy area makes most homeowners shudder. The first step to eliminating mold is to reduce moisture. From the exterior of the house to the kitchen and bath, eliminating mold makes for a healthier home.
