People suffering from mold exposure can often be misdiagnosed with disorders such as:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Chronic fatigue syndrome
- Bipolar disorder
- Fibromyalgia
- Lyme disease
Determining whether exposure to mold is making you sick isn’t always easy. Each person’s body is affected by mold toxicity in different ways. Some experience constant migraines and headaches, shortness of breath, brain fog, fatigue or even depression.
Since symptoms differ from person to person, they may not be quickly associated with mold exposure. Many people suffering from mold illness struggle to get a proper diagnosis and investigation.
- Wheezing/shortness of breath
- Rash
- Watery eyes
- Runny nose
- Itchy eyes
- Coughing
- Redness of the eyes
- Long standing or frequent sinusitis
And, serious pain and neurological symptoms, such as:
- Headaches and migraines
- Joint pain
- Muscle cramping, aches and pains
- Persistent nerve pain
- Numbness, tingling or tremors
- Vertigo/Dizziness
- Frequent colds and flu
- Fatigue and weakness
- Poor memory, brain fog, difficulty with focus
In some cases, the spores from mold take root and grow in specific parts of the body, such as the lungs and sinuses. This can cause serious respiratory illnesses and infections.
HOW LONG DO MOLD SYMPTOMS LAST?
The tricky thing about mold exposure is that it’s different for each person. The amount of time mold exposure symptoms persist depends on:
- What type of mold they are exposed to,
- How long the exposure has been,
- How well their bodies eliminate toxins
Those who process toxins well can see their symptoms disappear as quickly as a few days.
Others who eliminate toxins slowly can experience symptoms for much longer. They could be ill for months or even years after the source of mold is eliminated.
MOLD EXPOSURE TREATMENT
Once the sources of moisture that lead to mold growth are identified, it must be fixed and the mold needs to be eliminated.
This must be done by professionals. Unless an expert permanently removes the mold, it will quickly return.
Finally, the body needs support to eliminate the toxins and reduce the Total Body Burden. Common treatments for mold-related illnesses include:
- Environmental and dietary overhauls
- Cleansing specifically for mold
- Using IV nutrient therapy and colonics
- Supporting detoxification by using natural medicines and supplements
