The four most common <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/mold-concerns.php\">mold-related illnesses<\/a> according to NJDOH are:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Building-related asthma: <\/strong>Coughing, shortness of breath, chest pains. May occur immediately or hours later.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Allergic rhinitis: <\/strong>Itchy eyes and runny or stuffy nose symptoms.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Hypersensitivity pneumonitis: <\/strong>Fever, coughing, fatigue, weight loss, and other acute symptoms of pneumonia. Often comes back repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 <strong>Humidifier fever: <\/strong>Fever, chills, and cold symptoms associated with mold or other biotoxins being dispersed by a humidifier.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, once a person has a hypersensitivity, just a small amount of the mold particles can re-trigger the symptoms at any time. So, if your home has a mold infestation you need to bring in our NJ mold treatment professionals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stern&#8217;s NJ Mold Treatment Offers Permanent Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Typical household cleaners can only partially remove a mold problem, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2017\/04\/17\/mold-spores-can-live-for-thousands-of-years-waiting-for-the-right-conditions-to-grow\/\">untreated mold spores can easily grow back<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Stern Mold uses a two-part process of antimicrobial cleaning followed by a polymer seal.
