Molds can be unassuming at times, and if one does not pay too much attention on the food that he or she is eating, mold poisoning can occur especially on food that has long been stored.

Family Health Freedom Network has enumerated various signs and symptoms of mold poisoning.

“When mold is inhaled into the lungs, it leaves its mark on your body in a variety of ways. Mycotoxins are produced by mold, and many of them can be measured in your urine, saliva, or stool. Mold exposure can cause health problems that baffle doctors and experts, as they seem to have little in common. On the mild end, you may see inflammation and an uptick in allergies. On the more serious end of the scale, you may experience asthma, oxidative stress, and immune problems. There are several symptoms you can look for as you try to figure out whether or not you’ve been exposed to toxic mold.”

Critique and Discover

The Website Paradigm Shift featured how to handle mold poisoning in the family, as it critiqued an episode of a popular TV show. Black Molds        

“The government recognizes respiratory problems as being a possible outcome of mold exposures, but does not yet recognize that many other typical symptoms (such as neurological ones) also may be related. By keeping the emphasis on officially recognized symptoms of mold rather than discussing disputed ones, the Dr. Oz show may have reduced criticism of their coverage of the topic. Jill and Kaitlin’s telling of their story made it seem that as soon as they moved out of the moldy house, all their problems were resolved. At least for people with typical severe toxic mold illness, recovery usually takes a lot more time than that.”

Another dangerous side effect of molds as shared by the website Hopes and Fears, is possible Hallucinogenic Hysteria. “Some anthropologists theorize that the murderous mania of the Salem Witch Trials wasn’t caused by religious panic or hectic politics. They blame ergot, a grain fungus that causes paranoia, hallucinations and convulsions—the same symptoms that were thought to be caused by “bewitchment.” Historic gastronomist Sarah Lohman recently spoke about this in her lecture series Masters of Social Gastronomy. She paired up with Jonathan Soma to connect food to the times and places of our past, whether it’s cuisine from the Colonial era or the chop suey of early Chinese immigrants to the US.

Taken during a flooding in Maryland, entitled: “Surveying Howard St in Elkton, MD”by jaycantroot (cc: Some rights reserved)

One may have the insurance for it, but flood damage still causes so much stress to the property owner.
ABC11.com captured the sentiments of flood-affected residents during the two-day severe weather problem in North Carolina which happened in May last year.

“The rain left some homeowners with wet basements and their cars underwater.”

Read the whole story here.

Detroit was also affected by adverse flooding last year. Mlive.Com quoted Michigan Governor Rick Snyder empathizing with his constituents who have been severely affected by the historic flooding last August.
“Snyder shared with WJR 760 AM radio host Frank Beckmann that his family residence had to deal with a leaky basement several times in the past due to weather. And Snyder, nearing the end of his first term, added that his family’s vacation home recently suffered roof damage due to high winds from a recent storm that knocked down trees.”

Read excerpts of the interview here.

But not all flooding incidents are caused by weather disturbances. In GoGetFunding.com, a military family appealed for donations to help them rebuild their house after they woke up to flood waters in their basement following the malfunction of their sump pumps:

“We found out our insurance company capped our damages we were devastated once again. We lost so many personal belongings including our furniture and our main hangout space.”

The whole story can be read here.

At the onset of any emergency – man-made or otherwise — one must be prepared to act fast to prevent more damage from taking place.

How mold growth threatens your family’s health

Mold Grows in Damp Surfaces

Mold grows in damp surfaces, and threaten the health of homeowners, as well as their structure even before they notice. This Photo Entitled: “Rhizopus stolonifera” was taken by Paweesit (cc: some rights reserved)

Molds affect the human health in a very drastic kind of way that it poses serious risk to a person’s respiratory system. And while people have been trained to have it removed once seen, some wait for it to grow exponentially before calling for cleaning it up or having it removed.

But what if the mold growth in your home cannot be easily spotted? How dangerous can it get?

Huffingtonpost.com says one of the most mold-infested household item is the coffee machine. It explains coffee machine provides the wet or damp environment where molds and bacteria love to grow.

“On average, home coffee reservoirs also had higher germ counts than both bathroom door handles and toilet seats,” it said. With this huffingtonpost.com came up with a guide on how to clean coffee machines free from molds.

But molds do not only silently attack coffee machines. Another alarming area it could lurk on are sleeping areas for newborns. In its website, the United States Consumer Product Safety Commission published a product recall for an infant sleeper that exposes the sleeping baby to molds.

“Mold can develop between the removable seat cushion and the hard plastic frame of the sleeper when it remains wet/moist or is infrequently cleaned, posing a risk of exposure to mold to infants sleeping in the product. The CPSC advises that mold has been associated with respiratory illnesses and other infections,” the CPSC stated in this news release.

What is more alarming though is geoengineeringwatch.org’s article stating that a sizeable chunk of individuals in certain areas have been exposed to mold-infested air as the atmosphere now contains virally mutated molds. “You are now Breathing Ethylene Dibromide, Virally Mutated Molds, Nano-Particulates of Aluminum and Barium, and Polymer Fibers with Unidentified Bio-Active Material,” it said.

While most individuals have no control over the atmosphere being infested by molds, the best thing to do to protect homes and families is to do what it takes to extinguish molds once they become visible. Apart from that, it would of course be best if there will be no chances for molds to grow in homes by making sure that homeowners do not harbor areas that could stimulate the growth of molds like unassuming home fixtures that when damp, could pose as a breeding ground of this organism.

Plus you’ll have a carpet that seems to never get clean. But you can have a clean, comfortable carpet that looks like new, smells great, is easy to maintain and is safe… The first step is to make sure and vacuum your carpet at least once a week before the pollutants have a chance to embed in your carpet.   If kids or pets are present in the house then carpeted areas may need to be tended to multiple times a week. To prevent rapid dirt accumulation, have house guests remove shoes before entering the home.”

You and your family could already be inhaling mold regularly even before you know or discover the existence of molds in your home.

In its website, US Air Purifiers say you could already be ill due to regularly inhaling molds even before you could see the physical signs of mold infestation in your residence.

“According to immunotoxicologist (mold expert) Dr. Jack Thrasher, mold may be present in 25 percent of homes in America and in 40 percent of schools — both places where children are likely to spend the majority of their time. Health problems associated with toxic mold inhalation are various and wide-ranging, from sore throat, rhinitis, muscle aches and fatigue to more alarming symptoms like erratic behavior, memory loss and pulmonary hemorrhage. The particles that are responsible for these symptoms are called mycotoxins, and they enter the body through the nose and mouth during inhalation and even occasionally through the eyes. They then make their way to the lungs, other organs and even the brain and take up residence there. One of the particularly menacing aspects of mycotoxins is that they are able to multiply in the body while simultaneously suppressing the immune system’s response, leaving the body defenseless against their attack.”

This kind of mold is much harder to get rid of to the point that a home infested with it often has to be destroyed. Mold samples must be tested to know whether black mold is the issue. Symptoms of exposure include coughing blood, bloody nose, dizziness, nausea and anemia. If left unchecked or if a child or allergy sufferer is exposed to black mold, the effects can even include death.”

Mold inspections in every household or commercial establishment is extremely important to protect occupants from sickness, and to avoid costly mold removal and remediation services.

These inspections should be undertaken on a regular basis lest damage, as well as illnesses may manifest anytime. Air Circulating in the home

Canadian website GotMold.Ca shared reasons on why you should undertake a residential mold inspection during fall. Foremost of the reasons it gave is to avoid growth of mold spores. “In most homes, the furnace is located in the basement, usually in the storage area. The basement is also one of the most common areas for mold to thrive and grow because it is a dark, moist area. You will know you have mold issues if you smell a musty, earthy odour. This past summer, many homes were flooded and if they were not dried properly, the prevalence of mold issues is highly likely. If mold is prevalent in the basement, one of the major concerns is to prevent air borne spores from spreading throughout the rest of the home. In other words, turning on your furnace when there is mold in the basement could spread the spores throughout the home contaminating more areas. The number one reason to get a Fall mold inspection is to prevent the spread of mold into other areas of your home when you turn on your furnace. If the mold inspector finds mold in the basement, then potential cross contamination can be prevented with a remediation plan.”

Carpets, upholstery, paint, varnish, cleaning products, electronic equipment and many ordinary household items release traces of toxins. If the air is not sufficiently filtered, these can build up to hazardous levels. Fortunately, a number of indoor plants have the natural ability to detoxify air in the home. The air-filtering plants described herein are listed in the NASA Clean Air Study, which investigated ways to purify air in space stations.”

Also, they filter the air from various building materials, dust, paint etc.”
