To determine if you have toxic mold in your walls, look for visible signs of mold growth, such as discoloration or a musty odor. Toxic mold often appears as black or dark green patches. However, not all mold that is black in color is “toxic” black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum).
Not all mold is visible and often times it’s hidden in areas that are not often accessible.
Therefore, it’s advisable to hire a professional mold inspector to assess the situation, as they have the tools and expertise to identify and test for toxic mold.
If you believe mold exposure is affecting your health, please seek advice from a knowledgable doctor who specializes in treating mold.
