What is mould illness?
Mold illness can occur if you are exposed to mold in your environment.
Molds are fungi that can be found both indoors and outdoors, and they reproduce by releasing tiny spores into the air. When inhaled or ingested, these spores can cause health problems in some people, especially in those with allergies, asthma or weakened immune systems.

FAQs
How long does mold illness last?
This depends on the length and type of exposure, as well as how well your body detoxifies mold biotoxins.
Mold illness is often seen as a chronic condition, but there’s hope for a full recovery.
Is mold illness permanent?
No, it’s not permanent.
However, there are some who, even if they leave the mold affected environment, will have chronic symptoms that come under the banner of CIRS (chronic inflammatory response syndrome), where chronic symptoms persist. These are the majority of people we treat at Merge, and you can still recover!
