How can mold cause asthma? 🫁
Mold releases tiny airborne particles called spores that can be inhaled into the respiratory tract.
In people with asthma, exposure to these spores can trigger airway inflammation, causing the muscles around the airways to tighten and the lining to swell.
The result? Wheezing, coughing, chest tightness and difficulty breathing.
Damp walls, leaking roofs and poorly ventilated rooms create the perfect conditions for mold to grow.
