Florida's warm, humid climate is the perfect setup for mold to grow in our homes. Roughly 1,000 strains of household mold, Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly called "black" or "toxic" mold have been identified. Many types of mold cause such health problems as sneezing, itching and wheezing and even trigger asthma attacks.
Toxic or not, mold isn't healthy to have in your home, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
In the past, Florida homeowners were sometimes taken advantage of by so-called mold removal specialists who were nothing more than con artists.
