Toxic Strains
There are millions of types of molds in nature. Their function is to assist in the decomposition of organic matter, such as leaves. When they are present in your home, however, they may cause tenants allergies or more serious health side effects. The two strains of mold that are commonly associated with more severe side effects are Stachybotrys and Memnoniella, which can cause:
- Nasal congestion
- Itchy eyes
- Wheezing
- Memory loss
In persons with weakened immune systems, like children or the elderly, molds may cause a lung infection to occur. If you notice mold in your home, it is recommended that you take a sample and have it tested. If harmful, your landlord is responsible for resolving the problem in a timely manner.
