It has been said also that health problems associated with high levels of airborne mold spores can also result in – the irritating of the throat, sinus congestion, periods of asthma together with other respiratory ailments.
These conditions will escalate and be more serious if the persons immune system is compromised. Mold Remediation will eliminate these extra, unwanted health problems.

This can lead to allergic asthma and allergic rhinitis, and rhinorrhea (persistent watery mucus discharge from the nose as in the common cold), and even hypersensitivity pneumonitis.
