Mold can be Dangerous to Asthma Patients!

According to The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDS), mold can be responsible for worsening Asthma. It leads to asthma patients to suffer from short-term nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation, sometimes also result in death.

Mold is essentially to be prevented due to its ill-effects on asthma patients by cleaning it immediately where ever it appears.

EPA has provided following suggestions to prevent mold:

Control moisture to control the growth of indoor mold.
Ventilate bathrooms, dryers and other moisture generating sources to reduce indoor humidity.
Use exhaust fans while cooking, dishwashing and cleaning.
Clean up the wet building materials or furnishings within one or two days.
Hard surface containing mold must be cleaned with water and detergents, afterwards dry it up.
Replace the mold absorbent materials like ceiling tiles.
Add insulation to minimize, budding for condensation on windows, piping, exterior walls, roof and floors.

I believe that sensitive asthma patients can be positively benefited by following these suggestions provided by the EPA. This may help them to get out of other smaller diseases to be caused by mold dangerous for them.
