Mold Prevention For Brain Health - Home Exterior Maintenance

“Exterior building maintenance is crucial for preventing mold from growing inside a building.”

Twenty-five percent of people appear to be susceptible to mold toxicity - a surprisingly common cause of brain symptoms, including brain fog, fatigue, depression, anxiety, mood swings, OCD, panic, and psychosis. Mold toxicity can also be an underlying factor in pyrrole disorder, candida, and copper-zinc imbalances, which also cause brain symptoms.

Mold toxicity should also be considered when there are new-onset mental health issues in college students exposed to mold in their dorms or apartments.

Many chronic physical health issues can result as well, including autoimmune conditions. In my experience, mold toxicity is the most common cause of mast cell activation.
