The toxic mold and skin allergies

admin | Black Mold | August 4, 2008

The sight of the toxic mold alone is enough to bring panic and worry among homeowners. Mold infestation causes various health risks such as headache, pulmonary hemorrhage, nose bleeding, chronic fatigue and (perhaps one of its major negative health effect) skin allergies.

These above illnesses are acquired in three ways – mold ingestion, mold inhalation and skin contact. Allergies, more often than not, are acquired through close skin contact between the skin and the infected area. Skin allergies are sure to beat a person especially those with a low immune system and those who already suffer from recurring allergies. The bad part about having skin allergies caused by the toxic mold is that it is oftentimes related to breathing difficulties. When not properly and immediately attended to, it could cause to shortness in breathing which in rare cases, lead to death.

So how do you protect yourself from skin allergies? First of all, you need to understand that a do-it-yourself mold remediation is a dangerous thing to do. Make sure that you have your protective gloves with you. Touching the infected area with your bare hands could result to immediate skin rashes causing allergies. Some allergies could be induced by inhalation so wearing protective masks would be a helpful tip as well. Second, it was found out that other causes of skin allergies acquired through mold remediation are linked to the type of cleaners used. We should bear in mind that commercial cleaners contain hazardous chemicals which like the toxic mold, could harm your health and your skin. Commercial cleaners contain toxins which could directly cause skin allergies so if you’re planning on a do-it-yourself mold remediation; it is highly encouraged that you use natural cleaning products for your added safety. For an effective mold removal, use green mold killers. They are not only proven effective but also proven safe not just to your health but to the environment as well.

Get rid of the black mold now and free yourself from skin allergies and other health risks.

Levels 1 and 2 of Mold Remediation

admin | Black Mold | July 30, 2008

Everybody wants to get rid of the toxic mold right away. Upon positively detecting mold infestation inside your home, it is highly advised that you resolve to immediate mold remediation as soon as possible. Mold remediation has five levels – with Level 1 having the lowest contamination and Level 5, with highest. In this article mold remediation in levels 1 and 2 will be discussed.

Level 1 is the level of mold remediation suited for infested areas of 10 square feet or less. Small infestations in level 1 can refer to mold infection on surfaces such as baseboards or ceilings. At this level, a do-it-yourself remediation can be done and you can finish off the whole cleanup even in the absence of a mold remediator. You just need to bear in mind precautionary measures for a safe and thorough remediation. Consider these steps:

1. Don’t attempt proceeding with the cleanup if you have allergies, asthma or immune disorders.

2. Wear protection – gloves, disposable respirator or eye protection.

3. Temporarily keep infants away from the infected area. Mold infestation can result to pulmonary hemorrhage among infants so make sure that they are not in the area throughout the cleanup.

4. Infected materials which are impossible to be thoroughly cleaned (sofas, pillows) should be removed from the home immediately.

5. Clean the area and wipe with a damp cloth. Make sure that you let it dry properly to avoid future contamination.

Level 2 refers to the mold remediation process done to treat mold infested areas between 10-30 feet. In doing mold remediation for this level, bear in mind to take the same precautionary measures mentioned earlier. Mold infested materials should be placed in double bags before finally throwing to the garbage. Failing to do so could result to further contamination and recurrence of mold accumulation. When mold removal is done, don’t forget to vacuum the area. Replace the vacuum filters afterwards. Throughout the cleanup, always make sure to use natural cleaning products. Commercial cleaners contain chemicals which could be harmful to our health while green mold killers do not. Natural cleaners are also proven to be effective and usage of such will not only keep its users safe but the environment unharmed as well.
