In caves, forests and other environments, mold breaks down rotting material and enriches the soil around it, but can bring its share of trouble when it starts spreading in your home. And just like in the wild, there are many kinds that happily live in homes. Many of these molds do well in damp, obscured spots in your home like your basement or spots in your bathroom. Thankfully, this type of mold is mostly harmless, but sometimes a small splotch can spread across your home. Mold procreates using spores released into the air and causes illness if breathed in by people with mold sensitivities or respiratory issues.

Mold sensitivities are common for many people and strike at different times based on the density of mold. Sneezing, runny nose, red eyes and typical cold-like reactions are normally experienced with mold allergies, making it difficult to pinpoint accurately. The most severe reactions include difficulty breathing. Anyone with asthma should be especially careful near high concentrations of mold because it can cause asthma attacks. Additional sensitive groups at risk include:- Infants and toddlers
