You may not see it, but mold in your home could be triggering health issues, especially if you’ve recently experienced flooding or excess moisture indoors.
Mold exposure can cause:
➡️ Sneezing and runny nose
➡️ Red or itchy eyes
➡️ Skin rashes
➡️ Asthma attacks
➡️ Other respiratory problems
Mold affects everyone differently, but children, older adults, and people with asthma or weakened immune systems are especially at risk.
✅ If you’re noticing these symptoms and suspect mold in your home, don’t ignore it. A visual inspection is the best first step.
