Each mold shares characteristics but the main types have certain identifiable features, all of which require NYC mold treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternia<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is the most common type of mold and one of the biggest causes of allergic reactions. Alternia concentrations are highest in the summer when their spores come inside through dry winds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Aspergillus<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This mold is often found as the culprit of mold infestations in buildings. The spores of aspergillus are toxic and exist in higher quantities inside. This toxic mold can cause health issues in humans and animals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Cladosporium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This mold thrives at nearly all temperatures, including extreme cold. It can be a major cause of asthma attacks.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Penicillium<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This toxic mold has a colorful appearance that can be green, blue or yellow. This type of mold contains mycotoxins that humans developed into the beneficial antibiotic of penicillin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stachybotrys<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Commonly called &#8220;black mold,&#8221; this type of mold is highly toxic and thrives on cotton, paper and wood. It dominates other types of mold that already have established colonies.<\/p>\n<p>Many <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/mold-information\/index.php\" target=\"_blank\">forms of mold<\/a> are impossible to detect without professional assistance.
