When I was completing my graduate degree in public health, one of my group assignments was to research different types of mold plus its effects. This sounds like a terribly boring topic, plus to be honest it was. Even though it was boring, this information was useful to me. When I first moved to the southeastern region of the country, I moved into a small but affordable apartment. My rent was cheap, but with that came some complications. There was no one living in the dwelling for months prior to my arrival, so the a/c was not running at all, however due to the humid weather conditions, there was mold build up in my dwelling that I was unaware of. I developed an intense cough, plus finally figured out what the culprit was. Mold is a fungal growth that truly cares about a damp environment. If you live in a humid area,that creates moisture in your dwelling automatically. Moisture in your dwelling becomes a perfect breeding ground for mold. Mold can cause health problems like coughing, watery eyes, difficulty breathing, plus more. Do not panic if you also live in the southeastern region of the country. As long as you get routine maintenance done on your air conditioner unit, wash your air conditioner filters, plus run your air conditioner in the most hot plus humid months you will help prevent mold from growing in your home. Air conditioning removes moisture from the air, plus that is what mold loves. If you remove the moisture with cooling system, the mold will have nowhere to grow.
