Health Effects of Mold Exposure

The health effects from mold exposure are very symptomatic, and vary from person to person. How the human system is affected by mold exposure is dependent upon what types of mold are growing and the condition of the person exposed to the mold.

Health effects attributed to mold exposure may be:

• Respiratory failure/asthma
• Flu symptoms/headaches
• Nose bleeds/bleeding lungs
• Dizziness
• Learning disabilities

Note: The more serious health effects attributed to mold are more commonly found in people who already have compromised systems. Most people are not noticeably affected by small levels of mold.
