Stachybotrys (or Black) Mold: The Killer Wood Mold

Stachybotrys mold, similar to penicillium mold, grows in wet, damp, or water damaged areas. Even though black mold only grows on wood or paper products, it is still one of the most common types of mold found in homes. Dark brown or black in color, Stachybotrys mold carries with it some of the most detrimental health effects. In addition to the usual allergic reactions people feel when exposed to fungi mycotoxins, black mold can affectpeople neurologically. Symptoms of exposure to this mycotoxin include confusion, brain fog, dizziness and disorientation, short attention span, memory loss, depression, seizures, numbness, or even shock.

Black mold mycotoxins can also be absorbed through the skin or ingested into the lungs. When these toxic spores find their way into the individuals bloodstream, they can cause low blood pressure, heart damage, irregular heartbeat, or even hemorrhaging. If you see mold growth in your home that fits the description of black mold, waste no time to address the problem. The consequences of putting it off could be severe.
