Fungal Pathogens in Homes and Everyday Environments can Pose a Health Threat

Fungi are a natural part of the environment and can be found all around us.  Some types of fungi, including some found in indoor environments suffering from mold growth, can cause serious infections in some people.  This is particularly true in people with a weakened immune system.
 
FastMoldRemoval.com, a leading provider of mold removal and remediation products, has recently sponsored a two part online video series to help educate the public about fungal pathogens.  Over a dozen well known fungal diseases and fungal pathogens are discussed in the videos. 
 
Included in the group are a number of fungi that are commonly found in water damaged homes, offices and schools.  They include:
 
·         Cladosporium is cause of human illness and it has been known to cause several different types of infections, including skin, eye, sinus and brain infections. Cladosporium, like many types of fungi, has also been associated with allergies and asthma.
 
·         Histoplasmosis is a disease caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum.  The fungus lives in the environment, usually in association with large amounts of bird or bat droppings. The symptoms of histoplasmosis are similar to pneumonia.
 
·         Aspergillus is a common fungus that can be found in some indoor and outdoor environments. Aspergillosis is the name of the infection caused by Aspergillus.  There are several different kinds of aspergillosis.
 
“Mold can quickly become a problem in any building that has suffered water damage due to faulty plumbing, a flood or even because of high humidity levels,” reported Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com. “Although mold is a natural part of the environment, having it grow indoors can lead to serious health concerns. At FastMoldRemoval.com, we offer products to the public and mold remediation professionals to safely and quickly eliminate mold problems in indoor environments.”
