It is a fungus that can be found anywhere where there is moisture

Mold can grow anywhere there's humidity. It could pose a threat to your health if is present in your house. Mold is a fungus which reproduces by releasing tiny seeds in the air. The spores are transported from one location to the next. They are found both outdoors and indoors on the soil as well as in decaying or dead organic matter. They play a significant part in the decomposition of organic matter, but they can also cause damage to building materials as well as respiratory problems in building occupants.

It could cause health problems

If you've been living in a home or apartment that was contaminated by mold, you're aware that the spores may cause many different problems. Individuals who suffer from allergies or compromised immune systems are especially susceptible. These people tend to experience allergic and respiratory problems and skin and eye irritations. The spores of mold can also create toxins known as mycotoxins. The toxins could cause severe health problems and even death.

It also grows on non-cellulose substances

Although most molds thrive on cellulose, it is possible to develop on other substances including wood. It is possible to do this if the substances are covered with organic dirt, like dead skin cells, grease and oil from food and insect droppings. The growth of mold can be rapid. It can begin to germinate in as little as four to twelve hours. An extensive infestation can be detected within twenty-four hours or forty-eight hours. It also needs moisture for survival and a food source to consume.

It also grows on food items.

While some moulds produce mycotoxins that can make people ill, most kinds of moulds that are found on food are not harmful. The microbes that reside on the plant and animal parts are moulds. They produce spores that can be spread through your food.

It could hide behind walls

Mold is a serious issue. It is a fast-growing issue that can cause a host of unpleasant symptoms. There are several preventative measures that you can follow to lessen the chance of developing. These steps can also assist you in getting rid of the mold and keep your home clean.

It is also able to grow in air ducts

Air ducts are the perfect location for mold to flourish. When the air flows through the ducts it will gather spores, which are microscopic mold particles. There is a sign of growth on the ducts.
