Mold and mildew are not just ugly to look at, but can be
very dangerous. Both can aggravate asthma or allergies, and can cause eye
irritation, coughing, congestion, skin rash and even infections. More extreme
reactions include severe headaches, dizziness, nose bleeds, vomiting, diarrhea,
flu-like symptoms and liver damage. There are, however, a number of
preventative measures you can take to keep mold from becoming a problem.
