sIf you find mold and mildew in your home, it is best to deal with the issue as soon as possible. The truth is that you could be putting your health at risk. To the Metro newspaper, several experts revealed what could happen to your body.
Respiratory problems and allergic reactions are some of the issues to be concerned about. “If you have a lung problem, such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, mold can also worsen your symptoms and lead to an asthma attack or flare-up, which can be fatal,” reveals Erika Radford from Asthma + Lung UK.

“Moisture and mold can also increase your risk of other things that can worsen your lung condition, such as chest infections, colds and flu.”
“It can result in the appearance or increase of sneezing, red eyes or skin rashes. It can also have a considerable impact on a person’s lifestyle, such as sleep problems, and disrupt their quality of life”, says pharmacist Abbas Kanani.
More specifically in the case of men, mold “may have implications for lowering testosterone levels, which can cause erectile dysfunction.” As far as women are concerned, it can lead to “weight gain, decreased libido and mood changes.”
