Your child’s school could be the hidden source of their symptoms… and you’d never know.
Mold in schools is a HUGE but overlooked issue. 🏫
Why? Because mold hides in:
👉 Old HVAC systems
👉 Water-damaged ceiling tiles
👉 Bathrooms and locker rooms
👉 Portable classrooms
And kids are extra sensitive.
Mold exposure in children has been linked to:
1️⃣ Chronic runny nose or cough
2️⃣ Headaches
3️⃣ Brain fog or trouble focusing
4️⃣ Fatigue
5️⃣ Anxiety and mood swings
6️⃣ Histamine flare-ups
What you can do as a parent 👇
🗓️ Pay attention to patterns. Do symptoms improve on weekends or breaks? That’s a red flag.
🤔 Ask questions. Schools should test for indoor air quality and remediate water damage quickly.
🛁 Support detox gently at home. Air purifiers, Epsom salt baths, vitamin C, and adequate sleep can help.
🩺 Talk to a functional medicine practitioner if you suspect mold, especially if symptoms aren’t explained by allergies or infections.
Your child deserves a safe place to learn and grow. 💜
