4. Reproductive Issues
Exposure to mold mycotoxins typically affects the respiratory tract and sinus first. At this stage, most people will visit their doctor and receive a diagnosis of their condition. After returning home, the affected individual typically discovers the source of the mold and removes it from their premises. Removal may include air-remediation to remove all of the spores.
However, in rare cases, some affected individuals either don’t notice their symptoms in time or fail to remove the mold entirely from their home. Therefore, the spores reoccur, causing further damage to the health of the people in the affected household.
One of the unexpected symptoms of mold exposure is dropped infertility in both men and women. Immune function reduces as the body tries to fight off the infection, resulting in the disease spreading to other biological systems. Mold infection can cause a hormonal imbalance that disrupts normal hormone production, leading to pregnancy complications and issues with conception.
