Mold exposure often leads to various irritating symptoms. Signs of both acute and long-term mold exposure include:
In addition to those above, headaches are an often overlooked symptom of mold exposure.
Picture this, it's the beginning of spring. You know it's spring because you get that all too familiar tickle in your nose and pulsating sinus pressure. Maybe that nasal drip kicks in, your eyes start to itch, you can't catch a break from sneezing, and you have a wicked sinus headache.
But what if you're experiencing "sinus" headaches and other symptoms outside of allergy season? Or you're not experiencing relief when moving indoors away from allergen sources? If this is the case, it might be time to consider mold exposure as the cause of your headaches, not pollen as you suspected.
Please keep in mind we are not medical professionals, and you should always consult with your physician regarding concerning symptoms. Based on our remediation experiences and the increasing scientific literature, we'd still like to provide some insight.
Preliminary scientific evidence points to indoor air pollution, such as through mold and the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) it produces, as a cause for increased instances of headaches and migraines.
As described above, mold exposure headaches can feel similar to a sinus headache potentially coupled with allergy symptoms. However, mold exposure headaches can also present without allergy symptoms and involve tension or pulsing-like pain.
Too often people don't consider mold growth as a cause for their symptoms, such as headaches, unless there are obvious signs of water damage. Unfortunately, if you're living in an area with a hot and humid climate like Dallas, significant water damage isn't the only contributor to mold growth. In addition to the climate conditions previously mentioned, Dallas' heavy precipitation and pervasive use of porous building materials make many homes susceptible to mold.
In 2020, mold assessor Brian Fishbein ranked Texas as one of the moldiest states. Yikes. If you live in Dallas you're probably not surprised by this statistic considering the intense humidity in late summer and fall.
One year following this ranking, four lawsuits were filed against a popular apartment building in Dallas after residents experienced a slew of concerning symptoms following move-in. It was soon found that mold exposure was the hidden culprit.
You shouldn't have to endure what those apartment residents went through. So if you've determined mold exposure as a potential cause for your headaches or health concerns, follow these next steps. First, consult with a doctor. Next, contact FDP Mold Remediation.
Contacting our professional mold remediation company is a crucial step. Too often people try to clean up mold growth themselves with inappropriate methods such as bleach or assume mold isn't present just because it isn't visible. Don't make these mistakes, get professional help. The longer your mold growth goes unaddressed, the longer your body remains in a heightened immune response due to your allergen exposure.
