According to NHS, moulds produce allergens (substances that can cause an allergic reaction), irritants and, sometimes, toxic substances.
Inhaling or touching mould spores may cause an allergic reaction, such as sneezing, a runny nose, red eyes and skin rash. Moulds can also cause asthma attacks. Damp and mould can also affect the immune system.
Qualified Biological Scientist, Olwethu Mthembu told Briefly News that mold can be simply understood as a type of dampness caused by the growth of fungi.
"It spreads via spores and being exposed to it can affect your respiratory tract. People always complain about their chest and breathing when they're constantly exposed to mold. In severe cases, a lung operation may even be requires after prolonged exposure."
