The first things you should do when you discover concentrated mold growth is to move yourself and others to a safe distance from the area, determine the source of moisture causing the mold growth, call a professional that is certified and licensed to do mold cleaning, then consider finding out what type of mold it is. There are a multitude of kinds of mold that could be present, and different strands have different tells. There are a variety of appearances in color that each type reflects, different damage by each type can occur, and each strand can cause assorted health effects to the people that come in contact with the mold.
Common afflictions that can be caused by mold are:
