For the most part, these airborne particles are harmless. Problems arise when spores begin to reproduce and colonize surfaces inside a home or building.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2019\/12\/25\/what-you-must-know-about-mold-spores\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mold spores<\/a> settle harmlessly unless they come in contact with moisture, which is the key to growth. Drywall, cardboard, wood and other cellulose materials are preferred surfaces for mold, although it can also grow in upholstery, carpeting and fabrics.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Types of Mold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Penicillium, Cladosporium and Aspergillus are the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/mold-information\/five-types-of-mold.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">most common forms of mold<\/a> overall, while Alternia is the most common indoor mold. Extended exposure to all four types can cause allergic symptoms, even in people who haven&#8217;t previously been subject to allergies.<\/p>\n<p>Stachybotrys chartarum is often referred to as black mold or toxic mold. This type of mold emits mycotoxins that can trigger a range of health problems, from headaches and nosebleeds to muscle aches and memory loss.<\/p>\n<p>Experts\u00a0recommend maintaining\u00a0indoor humidity levels below 60 percent to discourage mold growth. During cold weather months, it&#8217;s important to keep the house warm to prevent condensation, which can lead to mold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trust Stern Mold for Effective Manhattan Mold Removal<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/moldexterm-system.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">two-step MoldExterm program<\/a> thoroughly removes existing growth and prevents future infestations. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/free-mold-treatment-quote.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact us<\/a> for a free mold inspection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mold is a common sight on rotting tree trunks, so how does it show up in your bathroom?
