BLACK MOLD = STACHYBOTRYS? The Villages, Ocala & Gainesville, Florida
SYMPTOMS OF TOXIC BLACK MOLD
Despite the high prevalence of what the scientific community terms Damp Building-Related 
Illnesses (or Sick Building Syndrome), scientists are only now beginning to understand the connections between the mold that inhabits the dampness and its health effects. According to a 2008 article published in the peer-reviewed Toxicological Sciences journal, the link may lie in the production of mycotoxins. Mold like Stachybotrys produces these chemicals, which can provoke allergies, inflammation, and other toxic effects.
The mycotoxins formed from toxic black mold can cause people to have many symptoms. General symptoms that are caused by this type of mold might include:
- Internal organ damage
- Mucous membrane irritation
- Hemorrhage
- Skin inflammation
- Respiratory problems
- Suppression of the immune system
- Nausea
- Tiredness
- Mental impairment
Exposure to Stachybotrys can cause serious and permanent health damage. In some extreme cases it can lead to death. Since it can cause serious health effects, if you find this type of mold in your business or your home you will need to take the appropriate steps to have it immediately removed.
The longer that you are around this type of mold the more damage to your health it can 
cause. If you suspect that you have mold infestation you should call in a professional to test the mold and to remove it as necessary. Removing toxic mold, yourself is not recommended as you want to make sure that you get rid of it entirely.
Whether you need to gather data for a mold litigation case, have potential health concerns due to mold exposure or are just looking for peace of mind, the IMS is ready to provide the knowledge and hands-on experience you’ll need to get the job done.
