Mycotoxins and Indoor Molds
Mold concerns from Alaskans are becoming a huge health issue. The more aware people become, the more mold they find in the home environment.
Historically, molds have been strongly linked to many illnesses, allergies, and they are a known asthma trigger. This article is by Sean P. Abbott, who is with MOLDLAB in Sparks, Nevada - sabbott@akamoldlab.com . He has much experience in the biology and research of mold and health and has written more than 30 articles on the subject. This article is used with his kind and enthusiastic permission. It is an excellent overview of molds and their known health effects.
