Rhode Island Mold and SBS Lawyers

Besides being unsightly, mold can cause serious health problems and sometimes even death. Unfortunately, many people do not realize Rhode Island mold thrives in their home or workplace because it is often hard to discover. For many, mold is discovered after health problems have already developed.

Allergenic mold, among the least harmful types, can cause allergies. Many people can experience, rhinitis, hay fever, runny nose, sinusitis and breathing problems. Pathogenic mold, a more harmful type of mold, can cause infections, especially in those with compromised immune systems.

Toxic mold, also known as black mold, is the most harmful and life-threatening type of mold in Rhode Island. The harmful mycotoxins released into the air by this mold can be breathed in through the nose, ingested through food, and come in contact with the skin. Respiratory illnesses, including difficulty breathing, stuffy nose and blood in the lungs can occur after a person breathes in the toxins. After ingesting toxins that have landed on food products, a person can experience vomiting, diarrhea, internal bleeding in the intestines and liver disease, including necrosis and fibrosis. Toxic mold can also affect hormonal balance and reproductive systems, rendering some infertile. Even the smell of growing toxic mold can cause health problems, including headaches, nausea, vomiting and asthmatic reactions. Toxic mold can also irritate the skin, caused by allergic reactions.

The most harmful diseases toxic mold can cause include the following:

Cancer
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)
Lupus
Chronic Fatigue Disorder
Fibromyalgia
Epstein-Barr

It is vital if you or someone you love has been afflicted with any of these illnesses and believe it is caused by mold that you contact a mold attorney in Rhode Island immediately.
