Among the many disadvantages caused by the molds of various kinds, the notable few are given below:

• Infections: When we inhale spores into our system, they may enter our lungs and may infect other organs of the body. They then develop and grow as fungal growths inside our  body. Normally our immune system does not allow this to happen but in certain cases when people have weak immune systems, this is seen and can have severe results including death.
• Allergic responses: These are brought on when we inhale spores that are discharged by the molds. The body treats these spores as alien particles and the body’s immune system fights against them. This results in various allergic reactions such as are sneezing and coughing, sore throat, itchy ears, respiratory problems and difficulties, fever, breathlessness, onset of asthma, throat irritation, red and watery eyes and so on. The allergic responses result in a substance known as Histamine which restricts blood circulation and can cause hair loss.
• Poison attack: Contrary to popular thought, a lot of molds in our homes are toxic or poisonous to us. They give out mycotoxins that not only cause neurological impairments but also are fatal and can bring out cancers in adults who were otherwise perfectly normal.
