The presence of a lot of mold in the house is not aesthetically pleasing and it can prove detrimental to the health of the humans. When one is surrounded by these micro fungi, one is exposed to a lot of diseases. Micro fungus like molds produce mycotoxins which are harmful to humans and animals. They can even produce death in their lives. One needs to be very careful with the presence of these molds. They should be gotten rid of to prevent health complications in humans.
What are the effects of these metabolites called mycotoxin?
When mycotoxin encounter humans and animals, they produce two complications- mycoses and mycotoxicosis. Mycoses are formed when the mycotoxin grows on the host while mycotoxicosis is the name given to the illness a person experience when they encounter mycotoxin in the form of consumption and inhalation and through other exposures.
· Mycoses: These diseases cause discomfort to the individuals and it can also lead to severe cases of diseases. One may experience diseases like athlete’s foot and other major complications such as invasive aspergillosis. Two fungi are responsible for the cause of mycoses and they are primary pathogens and opportunistic pathogens. Primary pathogens affect normal humans that have a proper immune system. However, this is not the case of opportunistic pathogens. These pathogens attack already weak individuals. They are prone to attack people whose immune systems are weaker due to an underlying illness. This may lead to more complications in the individual.
· Mycotoxicosis:One must keep their ermi score below 5 and if you fall under the category of Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS), you must make sure the number does not exceed 2. Having a lot of mold content can create complications such as mycotoxicosis. If one is exposed to a lot of pathogens, one will likely experience this disease. The severity of the illness depends on the age of the individual, your health, and exposure time. The gender of the person can even play a role. One must keep their area free from molds as one may not know how one got into contact with the disease. It can feel like poisoning and one’s condition can be worsened if one already has vitamin deficiency or other complications. They enhance the symptoms of malnutrition, make your immune system weaker making you vulnerable to diseases and it will interact with other toxins to deteriorate your health.
