Why Mold Cleanup Is Necessary

Although mold is a crucial aspect of the ecosystem, no one wants an infestation in their Bakersfield home. While mold isn’t quite”toxic” to humans, it can trigger common allergy symptoms and respiratory problems in infants, the elderly, and those who suffer from respiratory ailments. For these people, mold may cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and people with chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to mold. 

Pets can also be sensitive to mold. Signs of an allergy in animals might include excessive scratching, chewing, or licking, which sometimes progresses to the point of fur loss and the development of sores. Mold ingestion by your pets can even lead to gastric symptoms such as decreased appetite, vomiting, and stool changes.

Because mold can cause physical ailments and uncomfortable living environments, it is important to understand what actions to take when you suspect mold contamination in your home.
