Will Mould Kill You?
Probably not! But if you are diabetic, immuno-compromised, under chemo therapy, have asthma, Multiple Chemical Sensitivity, etc. - and/or genetically predispositioned to react with certain moulds (fungi) then it is possible under a certain set of bad circumstances to succumb to mould. Case in Point - an actual medical physician who had asthma was helping his college son move from a mouldy apartment. The apartment included moulded corrugated boxes which the good doctor handled and as a result suffered a fatal asthma attach while in route to seek treatment.
Mould is the scientist preferred spelling of mold, which is really fungus - plural fungi. Another common term used to reference mould is mildew.
Unlike asbestos most people can get a good blast of mould and not have residual particles remain in the lung forever - like asbestos. Mould can, however, take its toll on good health where the exposure to mould is ongoing - i.e. office or sleep quarters.
Sustained exposure to mould has been said to compromise one ' s immune system. Teachers who have worked in a so called "sick building" report relief from respiratory distress, they associate with their workplace, once they are out of school on vacations or especially the summer break.
Mould can make people sick and has been in the headlines recently with stories about multimillion dollar awards. Ed McMahon Claims his dog died from mould exposure and Erin Brocovich is saying the mould in the walls of her house has made her unable to adequately breathe and she has become lethargic.
Mould is usually caused by moisture and is especially prodigious when a cellulite (wood paper) food source gets wet. The paper surface of gypsum wallboard has been associated with the growth of moulds that can produce toxins. Water will get mould going, but high humidity on building materials can sustain that growth.
Removal of mouldy building materials from interior building spaces can result in a tremendous mould spore release into the air. This is why there are now companies with individuals specially trained to remove mould - this training is similar to asbestos with pressurized containments and personal protective equipment.
