People with pre-existing allergies are more vulnerable to these ailments, but even individuals with no history of allergies can become susceptible.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lung Diseases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Studies have shown a possible link between mold exposure and asthma in children. While to date there&#8217;s no evidence this applies to adults, mold exposure can increase the frequency and severity of attacks with individuals who already suffer from asthma.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2018\/07\/25\/what-is-aspergillosis-is-it-caused-by-inhaling-mold-spores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aspergillosis<\/a> is a range of diseases taking their name from Aspergillus, which is the specific form of mold that triggers them.
