Do you think that you may be suffering from a toxic mold symptom? Mold is virtually everywhere. It is in the air, the water, the soil and most importantly in the places we live and work. It is the responsibility of property owners, employers and those who provide services in public or enclosed areas to provide a safe and healthy environment for their customers, clients and patrons. Most of the common molds that you come in contact with will not be harmful to you or cause you any ill effect. In comparison, most of them do not pose any health risks at all. However, there are some very dangerous molds that can cause serious health problems that you need to be aware of.

Listed below are some of the more common types of indoor mold:
- Penicillium
- Cladosporium
- Mucor
- Alternaria
- Aspergillus
Common symptoms of toxic mold exposure include:
- Allergic reactions
- Nausea and vomiting
- Difficulty breathing or wheezing
- Memory loss, difficulty concentrating
- Sore throat, coughing
- Rashes, skin conditions or irritations
The dangerous or “toxic” molds are the ones which produce Mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are created by molds as defecated liquid or gaseous substances which can be very harmful and even fatal with high exposure. The two most dangerous types of household mold that produce mycotoxins are Stachybotrys Atra and Memnoniella. Both of these toxic molds are considered to be extremely dangerous. Both of these molds grow in water soaked materials such as cotton, wood, carpeting, drywall or wallpaper and can cause coughing, sneezing, choking, vomiting, wheezing, sharp abdominal pains, dizziness, seizures, irregular heart beat and, in worst cases, a heart attack and even death.
There are many more symptoms that you may be having that are caused by Mycotoxin poisoning. If you feel that you may have mold poisoning, you will need to contact a physician immediately. If there is mold in your home, you need to have it removed by a professional or by following the guidelines for mold remediation. If for example, a contractor, service provider or property owner is responsible for your damages or injuries, you need to speak to a toxic mold tort expert to handle your case.
