Summer is in full effect, and for those of us in South Florida, that means the highest levels of humidity all year. Coupled with the heat, it provides the prefect environment for mold. While most strains are harmless, naturally occurring, and wind disseminating, there are few that can produce dangerous organic compounds known as Mycotoxins. These Mycotoxins can illicit reactions in humans varying from skin irritation, runny nose and scratchy throat, all the way to serious respiratory and pulmonary issues and even death. For helpful information, we’ve provided an article from FloridaHealth.com pertaining to identifying suspicious visible areas and what to do when discovered. Dated 2013, the article provides many good tips that apply as much today as then, in a room by room breakdown throughout your home. While it is always recommended to contact a professional for proper detection and identification of strains, this can help to give even base knowledge in hopes to grapple what can be one of the most unexpected hassles a homeowner will face. Contact us here at Environmental Resources with any questions or concerns you may have regarding any potential smell, water marking, or suspected visible growth and we will be happy to assist!
