Your house could have mold! Mold and fungi have existed longer than humans on this planet and are ubiquitous in the outdoors. The problem of mold in the environment is not a new one, but it has become increasingly prevalent since buildings were sealed after the ’70s energy crunch.

Mold can become trapped in buildings and, when moisture is present, create heavy concentrations of mold whose effects on humans range from mildly allergenic to highly toxic.
