In 2004, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found sufficient evidence to make a connection between indoor mold exposure to “upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition.”(2)
