These decisions have to be made individually. If you or your family members have health problems after exposure to mold, contact your healthcare provider and call us to test the air quality of your building before you make any major decisions. The American Thoracic Society says that people with allergies or lung problems should avoid mold or it could make your condition worse. People with asthma, allergies, or other respiratory conditions may be more sensitive to mold. If you have a chronic lung condition or a weakened immune system, you could develop fungal infections in your lungs. 

Early symptoms (within hours of exposure) include stuffy nose, irritated eyes, or skin irritation. Shortness of breath, cough, and wheezing can also occur quickly and may be more likely to occur in people with a history of asthma or emphysema. 

Late symptoms (days to weeks following exposure) may include signs of infection including fever, productive cough, shortness of breath and weight loss. 

Returning symptoms years after you have been cleaned of toxic mold, you may start suffering from the symptoms again if you are in a building that has mold growing from water damage. This is your body's way of remembering.

• Promptly fixing leaky roofs, windows, and pipes;
• Thoroughly cleaning and drying after flooding;
