A recent study of medical and scientific data, made by the Council of Texas Medical Association on Scientific Affairs (Texas Medical Association's Council on Scientific Affairs) found that exposure to Stachybotrys (black mold removal) does not represent a threat to health most people. The report found that exposure to this mold is a health hazard only for those with respiratory allergies to black mold spores or who have certain rare lung inflammatory diseases. Although there is concern that exposure to black mold can cause pulmonary hemorrhage in infants, the CDC says that so far this statement has not been proven.
According to the Texas Department of Health (Texas Department of Health, TDH), for those who are sensitive to molds in general, common health effects from exposure may include allergic reactions (similar to hay fever) , headaches, bronchitis, asthma attacks, lung irritation, and skin rashes. People who suffer from asthma or other pulmonary diseases, people with weak immune systems, children, and elderly, have a greater chance of developing an illness related to mold. All sources of health have been consulted, they say that more research is needed on health effects from exposure to mold.
If you are concerned about possible health hazards due to the growth of mold in your home, consult your family doctor or specialist. Be careful of any claim made by an inspector on repairing dangerous levels of mold and health problems that may occur as a result of mold or mould removal. It is unlikely that those medical expenses associated with mold are covered by the insurance policy of his residence; know the extent and limits of coverage of insurance policies, both on your property and health. You may want to talk with an insurance agent or your lawyer about the policy coverage.
