What is black mold? The simplest explanation is that it’s marked by its color, which is a
dark black, as opposed to the other colors of mold one might find in the house, such as
green and grey molds. Black mold is found in the warmest, and wettest parts of the
house. So, the places to look for it includes leaky basements and possibly bathrooms
with ongoing moisture issues, or ones that aren’t well ventilated.
Why is it so dangerous? It doesn’t just look bad. Mold can seriously damage a person’s
health. The most serious result of mold is how it affects a person. Mold consists of
spores which become airborne. Once in the air, people are in danger of breathing them
in. That’s where the issue starts: once the spores interact with the lungs, they can lead to
health problems.
