What is Mould and How Does It Affect Our Health?
This is a type of fungus that grows in dark and humid places, especially in kitchens, damp ceilings and others. You put yourself at risk if you live in an area with poor ventilation. Prolonged inhalation of mould spores can weaken the immunity system, increase allergic reactions and many more.
Mould spores may have the following health implications on your health:
-
Allergies
If your immune system is extremely sensitive to outside elements, you might suffer from mould allergies. Moulds produce spores that your body recognises as an outside element and need to be destroyed. Then you experience mould allergies.
-
Asthma
It is another type of allergic reaction to mould spores. If you already have asthma, then you should stay away from mould spores otherwise you may experience increasing asthma attacks.
-
Weak Immune System
Moulds produce a sort of mycotoxins that can have a severe impact on your immune system. When you breathe mycotoxins in huge quantities it is likely to undermine your immunity and weaken your immunity system.
-
Chronic Lung Diseases
You may develop long-term lung diseases if you continue to inhale mould spores in the air. For example, if you inhale aspergillus spores for a prolonged time, you might develop aspergillosis, which may cause you respiratory difficulties.
