Symptoms and Health Effects: Mucor is a harmful mold that can adversely affect the respiratory system. Exposure to constant high levels of Mucor can cause or worsen the symptoms of asthma. Other symptoms include elevated temperature, flu-like symptoms, malaise, and difficulty breathing. Constant exposure to the spores can be extremely dangerous to those with weak immune systems. A severe reaction to Mucor can cause Mucormycosis or Zygomycosis, and extrinsic allergic alveolitis. Mucormycosis is a disease brought about by inhaling spores produced by Mucor Molds. The fungal infection typically causes a reaction in the eyes and nose, but the most common site for serious infection is the lungs, sinuses, and brain. In some cases, Mucor invades arteries whereby blood clots can form, blocking vessels to the brain. A tissue sample is the best method of identifying Mucormycosis. Because Mucor molds are environmental, exposure to the spores is common; however, any vulnerable individual can also develop Mucormycosis of the digestive system, kidneys, and skin. QUICK PROFESSIONAL FUNGAL REMOVAL SERVICE IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED!!! The general health impacts of mold: More than half of American homes have mold problems, and 38% of the population are genetically susceptible to the health issues mold can cause. Seniors tend to be more susceptible to the effects of mold as they often have weaker immune systems, poorer lung function, and take medications for other health problems that can make them vulnerable. Removing mold from their homes and preventing future problems can help to maintain and improve their health. The symptoms and severity someone will have when exposed to mold will depend on the type of mold, concentration level, and their overall health, but symptoms generally include nasal and sinus problems, a cough, sore throat, tightness in the chest, and breathing problems. People with asthma and some allergies are likely to notice their symptoms exacerbate. Prolonged exposure to mold can lead to hypersensitivity, pulmonary injury, and even some types of cancer. Seniors are more at risk of health problems from mold exposure as lung function declines with age. The nervous system also changes and nerves that trigger coughing can become less sensitive, meaning they won’t cough out mold spores and other contaminants that enter the airways which can then build up in the body.
