Most of us strive to make our homes safe places to be. We lock the doors, and some of us use alarm systems to protect our families from intruders. However, one type of intruder we need to be watchful of may already be in our house: mold.
All homes have mold spores in them. Water, air and insects spread them, but usually this small amount isn’t a problem. However, when the conditions are right, mold can proliferate–and that’s when it becomes dangerous. We’ve all heard the horror stories of families having to abandon new homes because they were built improperly and overtaken by mold. Fortunately, most of us won’t have to deal with that, but we do need to be aware of the existence of mold and how it can affect our health.
