Black mold symptoms disguise themselves as common maladies and frequently go completely undetected. Black mold destroys your health by putting your immune system jeopardy by overwhelming it with attacks, while diseases of opportunity slowly creep in and then you suddenly have major health issues to deal with.

Black mold symptoms must be detected by placing family under surveillance, specifically by noting every health detail each family member suffers from. The reason you must pay such close attention to details is because here is just a brief list of black mold health symptoms you need to identify:

•You notice stale musty odors, in the bathroom, laundry, basement, attic, walls.

•You get headaches that occur on a weekly basis.

•Stale air eminating from the air conditioning or furnace.

•Mold that appears as if from out of no where soon after cleaning it up.

•Patches or splotches on the water filter or water softener.

•You have health concerns that the doctors can't seem to identify a root cause.

•You are purchasing one or more boxes of allergy pills per month.

•Red eyes, tired eyes, itchy eyes and nose, sniffles.

•Your throat is frequently a problem.

•Sinus headaches, sinus pressure, eye pain.

•You are always un-naturally tired.

•Allergies

Any one or two of these problems mostly go unnoticed but by collecting the details of everyone in the home different problems will result in establishing that there might be a root cause that has not been found. That root cause is sometimes black mold problems.

Black mold health concerns are more than the subtle problems identified above. Black mold can lead to depression, memory loss and severe toxic mold illness that can end in death.

There is one way to find out if black mold health problems are present in your home and that is to go for a few days. If you get better after being away, then return and the maladies come back again, then black mold could be the problem.

If you have already discovered that black mold symptoms are in your home and you wish to get rid of the black mold, there are various ways ranging in cost and complexity to eliminate the problem. Usually black mold problems are a direct result of water damage and too much moisture in your home. Eliminate the moisture and the black mold will go dormant (like your grass in the winter). Once the moisture problem is resolved, remove the black mold carefully (large jobs may require the professionals). Once completed keep the area well ventilated.
