When mold is growing inside your house or workplace, you may not immediately notice visible signs of mold growth. Instead, the people living or working in the structure will likely show symptoms first. Here at Coastal Mold Services LLC, we’re passionate about helping people avoid the unpleasant symptoms associated with mold sickness, offering reliable mold testing and inspection services. We encourage all property owners to learn the most common signs of mold sickness so that they can quickly remedy the issue before serious harm occurs.
Below, we’ll review some of the most common symptoms that can be linked to mold sickness.
- Allergy-like symptoms. Sneezing, runny noses, itchy eyes or throat, and dry skin are common symptoms of seasonal allergies, but if they only occur in your home or commercial property, there’s a strong likelihood that mold is hidden within the structure. If you experience allergy-like symptoms indoors and feel better as soon as you head outside, we encourage you to contact us for a professional inspection.
- Respiratory symptoms. People with asthma or existing respiratory conditions can experience exacerbated symptoms when exposed to mold. Some common respiratory symptoms can include persistent coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.
- Fatigue or headaches. When mold growth steadily increases throughout a building, indoor air quality can suffer. Breathing in low-quality air can cause headaches, dizziness, or fatigue — even in otherwise healthy individuals. If you’ve been feeling unusually tired or have been experiencing more frequent headaches, it’s a good idea to schedule a mold inspection as soon as possible.
