Mold or mildew in the home can be a real threat to people
who suffer from allergies, but mold and mildew cleaners from
Allergy Asthma Technology can help.
You may already know some simple facts about mold and mildew.
Both are forms of fungi that grow in damp places like basements or attics where
moisture or humidity is not under control. These basic facts are important to
consider, because basements and attics are sometimes places where children like
to play, which means their health may be at even more at risk than the average
family member, if mold and mildew are not detected or cleaned up soon after it
appears.
Why mold and mildew
matter
Mold spores are known allergens causing sneezing, runny
nose, irritation of the eyes and other symptoms. In other words, molds can make
life pretty miserable for anyone sensitive to its effects. You may notice these
symptoms in your child however, and not make the connection between their
condition and possible mold in your house. While fear of mold has abated
somewhat over the years, the actuality of mold allergies is real. Some research
has shown that certain forms of mold, especially Stachybotrys chartarum, a black mold, may even cause cancer.
If you find mold of any form in your house, it is best to
take immediate action. Allergy

Mold from the top
down and bottom up
Most people do not know that mold can grow from the “top
down” of the house as well as up from the basement. In all seasons, damp attic
conditions can cause condensation that clings to wall and ceiling surfaces
where mold can then grow. In those conditions mold may show up as dark stains
in your ceiling. An attic fan with a humidity-reducing feature can help reduce
the amount of humidity in attic spaces, but not always. Variations in
temperature and outdoor humidity can be difficult to detect, which is why the AcuRite
Temperature and Humidity Comfort Monitor can be vital to managing the air
conditions of your home. You can get crucial feedback on the health of your air
and possible conditions ripe for mold and mildew, wherever it occurs. At only
$12.95, the AcuRite Comfort Monitor is affordable enough to put one in the
basement the attic and the main living rooms of your home.
But to be sure, there are other important steps you can take
to combat mold and mildew in your home.
Mold and Mildew
Prevention
If you know the areas in your home most susceptible to mold
and mildew formation, Allertech
Mold and Mildew Stain Preventer gives you a protective shield against
reoccurrence of mold in those “hot spots” for mold that are actually “wet
spots” where condensation or frequent humidity problems occur.
To find mold and
mildew, follow your nose, or read the symptoms
You know how it smells when spaces in your home get too wet.
First there’s a musty, damp smell telling you some sort of fabric or home is
soaked or damp. Mildew stinks.
But mold and mildew can still grow without evident odor, and
the symptoms of allergies caused by airborne spores from mold and mildew fungi
may show up in your children or other family members before you know what’s causing
it. There is particular risk to younger children, as asthma symptoms can be
pronounced in the presence of certain molds, which can lead to tightening of
the chest and trigger asthma attacks in the upper respiratory system.
It is not always easy to diagnose symptoms related to mold
allergies. But if your children or family experience chronic symptoms it is
worth considering whether mold and mildew could indeed be the source of their
allergies. The problem is usually curable. And that’s always good news.
