• Joint aches
• Headaches
• Cough
• Blocked or runny nose
• Eye irritation
• Skin allergies
• Fatigue

These symptoms may or may not be caused by mold presence. But where mold is found in homes, the rate of these symptoms surfacing is high. If your children have eye irritations, ask whether they have been touching places with mold growing and whether they had subsequently rubbed their eyes without washing their hands first. And if you found your family constantly having cough or runny nose, check your home for mold existence.

Of course, there are other factors linked to the above symptoms, and they may not be associated with mold at all. But if you suspect that your health is being affected by mold, do see your doctor for confirmation.
