Mold is not only damaging to your home, it can be harmful to your health. If you are inhaling mold spores, and are allergic to them, it can cause physical reactions similar to those of seasonal allergies and COVID-19. You may be experiencing symptoms that have you wondering if it’s COVID, a cold, or mold? 




People with underlying conditions may experience serious effects from the mold. Some typical symptoms from mold exposure include things like:
  • Coughing

  • Itchy throat
