Here are some lists of exposure symptoms that you may want to take note of for immediate action to prevent continuous health problems. Once you have detected these exposure symptoms, it is better to contact your physician right away for prevention and cure.

What You Should Know

When we get exposed to molds, they produce mycotoxins which are very dangerous for our health. We may not see them with our naked eye but we could ingest them through the skin, mucous, and airways and once they are inside our bodies, they could then colonize and spread. Because of this, they could bring problems to our immune systems and damage the everyday processes of our bodies.

As a result, exposure could bring us diseases like hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to molds and spores, Mucotoxicosis or the poisoning by food products that contains fungi, Mycetismus or the ingestion of performed

toxin, and infections. There are many exposure symptoms we may want to take note of to tell us if we are infected with health problems brought by molds.

The Signs

One of the most common exposure symptoms is the hypersensitivity when we get re-exposed to molds and often times, it could lead to anaphylaxis. Sometimes, exposure symptoms could be headache, sinusitis, nose bleeds, sudden weight changes, irregular heartbeat, vision problems, swollen lymph nodes, memory loss, asthmatic signs such as wheezing, coughing, burning lungs, and shortness of breath, and respiratory distress.

Other exposure symptoms are yellowing of nails, ridges, or white marks on the nail, difficulty in swallowing, anxiety, depression, large boils on the neck, night head sweats or drooling when sleeping, intermittent face flushing, joint or muscle pain or stiffness, hair loss, spleen, liver, and kidney pain, reproductive problems, brittle nails, seizures or body twitching, bruising or scarring easily, cancer, heart attack, and may be death when it comes to having extreme level of exposure to molds.

Please note that these exposure symptoms never fit all of the above criteria but most of the people with Mycotoxicosis meet at least eight telling signs that were mentioned. It is always best to contact your doctor first to be tested and for confirmation, prevention, and cure.
