You risk getting seriously ill if you don't remove it

Mold is an invisible enemy that lurks in many Danish homes. According to Dr. Hong Yong-Hsiang from Taiwan poses mold a silent threat that can have serious consequences for health.

As mold grows, it produces mycotoxins, toxins that can slowly poison the body and lead to both acute and chronic diseases.

The problem with mold is that it often thrives in moist and poorly ventilated areas where it hides in the small particles of the air or in cracks and cracks that are difficult to detect.

Although the mold is not visible, its spores can still hover around the home and be inhaled.

Over time, it can lead to anything from coughing and breathing problems to more serious conditions such as asthma and sinusitis.

« Prolonged inhalation or exposure to mycotoxins can cause respiratory problems, » warns Dr. Hong Yong-Hsiang according to Sanook

However, the danger does not stop at the airways. If food becomes contaminated with mold, it can affect the digestive system and lead to symptoms such as abdominal pain, nausea and diarrhea.

Especially aflatoxins that some molds can produce are extremely dangerous and classified as carcinogens.

In addition, prolonged exposure to mold can cause chronic fatigue, headaches and even affect the nervous system.
