effects such as fever, flu-like symptoms, fatigue, respiratory dysfunction, excessive nose bleeds, vomiting and even liver damage.

There are certain things that you can do in order to attempt to prevent yourself from the effects of exposure, for instance when necessary, some resourceful molds produce toxins in defense against other molds and forms of bacteria. Depending on the exposure level, the mycotoxins that are produced here may cause toxic effects in people, and some of the more common symptoms are coughing, fatigue, nausea, headaches, and respiratory and eye irritation and infection.

The most important thing to do, if at any time you have realized that you have been exposed to mold, is to make an appointment to see your doctor, so that they can do a full examination on you and determine whether or not you have any signs or symptoms as a result of your exposure to the mold. The only problem is that usually in a exposure situation you are not able to notice any symptoms until months after the actual exposure took place.

Remember that prevention is always the best measure, and this means that you keep your home as humidity and moisture free as possible, so that the chances of it developing are decreased as much as possible.
