What is Black Mold?
Black Mold is a term commonly used to describe a slimy, greenish-black substance which can result in serious health risks. This infamous mold is also known as Strachybotrys Chartarum and more often as Strachybotrys Atra. It has been linked to the death of babies from respiratory bleeding and as a contributing factor to illnesses such asthma and bronchitis. According to the CDC (Center of Disease Control), this mold is responsible for over “100 cases of lung disorders”.
Most everyone has one type of mold or another somewhere in their home. Although not all types are toxic, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish types without lab testing.
