Mold Growth

Just recently, mold was found growing in one of Page Six Magazine’s offices. In being taken care of, the EPA provided the following information :

What do Mold Spores Cause?

• Allergic reactions

Common reactions include “hay fever-type symptoms” that include sneezing, running nose, red eyes and skin rashes.

• Asthma

Have asthma? You should be living in Florida. But even if you don’t have asthma, if you’re allergic and work at P6M, you might be getting attacks anyway.

• Hypersensitivity pneumonitis

This one is rare, but every once in a while a short-term exposee to mold can develop a strange condition that resembles bacterial pneumonia. Awesome!

• General eye/skin/nose/throat/lung sensation

Self-explanatory. We also heard the term “burning sensation” could be used to describe that feeling.

• Opportunitistic infections

If you are suffering from advanced AIDS or in chemotherapy, you can look forward to infections like Aspergillus fumigatus. We Googled it and it’s not pretty.
