Short video briefly explaining the potential effects of mold in the nervous system, specifically the Brain
Some of the major issues resulting from mold exposure or mold toxicity include:
INFLAMMATION anywhere in the body
Cognitive impairments: Difficulty with concentration, judgment, and overall brain function
Memory loss: Often reversible once the mold is removed from a home
Confusion: Disorientation
Mood swings: Depression
Anxiety: Increased sensitivity to pain
Chronic fatigue
Other effects include headaches and migraines, impaired motor skills, and other behavioral changes. People with weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to neurological symptoms.
Mold is a toxin that releases toxic gas and spores into the air. When the toxins enter your body, via skin or air, they can cause brain inflammation in the hippocampus, the area of the brain that governs memory, learning, and the sleep-wake cycle. People who experience inflammation and delirium following mold exposure appear to be at the highest risk for long-lasting cognitive impairment.
