What is mold?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Mold is a type of fungus that can be found virtually anywhere where a combination of dampness, humidity, darkness and surfaces exist. As a living organism, mold can grow, and when it\u2019s in indoor settings, it can reproduce very quickly, clinging to walls, floors, ceilings, furniture and more. The key to that growth is moisture, which it uses as a source of energy. They reproduce by releasing spores, which serve as building blocks for populating.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

What does mold look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’ve ever cleaned out your refrigerator of uneaten leftovers or condiments, you have likely seen mold up close and personal. It’s an eyesore \u2014 and can smell even worse. Depending on its type, mold can come in various colors, such as white, green, black, green and brown. It can also appear fuzzy and jagged in its formation, especially when it clings to walls. It’s highly unattractive and can be difficult to get rid of once it\u2019s spotted. It can sometimes be difficult to detect, making comprehensive mold inspection important in the event mold spores are found. Carpet, wood, food and paper are all feeding grounds for the far-reaching tentacles of mold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Is mold dangerous?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond its unsightly appearance, mold can also be dangerous, particularly for those who are immunocompromised or have allergies. Because mold releases toxins into the air \u2014 which are called mycotoxins \u2014 it can be dangerous to be in rooms where it’s found in large quantities. It can also lead to the formation of allergies and trigger respiratory problems. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, common symptoms associated with mold exposure may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
