Mold exposure is exposure to an allergen and can affect sinuses, ears, throat, and lungs.
A mold is a tiny simple-cell organism with no leaves, stems or flowers. They do not grow their own food; they have no green coloring matter or chlorophyll, but depend on plants, animals or decaying vegetable matter for their food.
Mold exposure is exposure to a chemical (mycotoxin) which can affect heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, immune system, brain, and almost every cell in the body.
A mycotoxin is fat soluble and is absorbed by the intestinal lining, skin and through inhalation.
A mycotoxin is toxic to vertebrates or to humans.
A mycotoxin is similar in chemical structure to ketones, aldehydes, alcohols, and aromatic and aliphatic compounds.
Mold exposure can be life threatening.
