Black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum) can cause several health problems, particularly when exposure is prolonged. It can be quite bad for your health, especially for individuals with mold sensitivities or weakened immune systems. Health problems associated with black mold exposure include:
* Respiratory issues: Coughing, wheezing, and difficulty breathing.
* Allergic reactions: Sneezing, itching, redness of the skin, and eye irritation.
* Neurological symptoms: Headaches, memory loss, and concentration problems.
* Immune suppression: Increased vulnerability to infections.
* In severe cases: Toxic mold syndrome, which can lead to more serious health issues like pulmonary hemorrhage or memory loss.
