Best Temperatures for Mold Growth
There are three critical temperatures for mold: the temperature below which no growth occurs, the temperature above which no growth occurs, and the temperature at which most rapid growth takes place. Most  mold species grow well in temperatures ranging from 35º to 110º F (2º to 43° C), although there are molds which will grow at almost freezing and others which thrive at over 110º F. The average optimum temp for mold growth is in the eighties F (27+ C). Freezing mold does not kill mold spores or mold colonies---they become dormant waiting for warm temperatures and access to moisture to grow again.

Mold is NOT a new problem for humans. Read the Bible at Leviticus 14:45 "A house desecrated by mildew, mold, or fungus would be a defiled place to live in, so drastic measures had to be taken." Read more from the Bible about mold.

Mold damage, mold contamination, and mold infestation  have always been threats to people, animals, and plants. Mold Prevention is always needed.
"The way to control indoor mold growth is to control moisture,” reports the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

 Is your neighbor's house mold-contaminated? The adjacent moldy house mold is very risky to your family health and home investment because air currents can regularly transport airborne mold spores from the moldy exterior of the neighbor's house to mold cross contaminate your entire home by entering your open windows, doors, and fresh air intake of your heating and cooling system.

U.S. A Summary of Mold Health Problems

Fungi are a kingdom of organisms that include mushrooms, mildews, molds, and yeasts. It is estimated that there are between 50,000 and 250,000 species of fungi, and fewer than 200 have been described as human pathogens that can cause infections. Molds are ubiquitous in nature and grow almost anywhere indoors and outdoors. More than 1,000 different kinds of indoor molds have been found in U.S. homes. Molds spread and reproduce by making spores, which are very small and lightweight, able to travel through air, capable of resisting dry, adverse environmental conditions, and hence capable of surviving a long time. Molds need moisture and food to grow, and their growth is stimulated by warm, damp, and humid conditions. Read more.....

Mold or Mildew? Mildew is a common name for mold or fungi, often used to describe fungal growth on bathroom tiles/fixtures, and on wet clothing.

Mold, mildew, and moisture in the home or workplace: "Molds can grow on virtually any substance, as long as moisture or water, oxygen, and an organic [food] source are present. Molds reproduce by creating tiny spores (viable seeds) that usually cannot be seen without magnification. Mold spores continually float through the indoor and outdoor air.," reports the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Mold that runs out of moisture to sustain its continued growth goes into a dormant state [that can last for millions of years] waiting for renewed access to moisture so that it can resume its relentless growth made possible by eating cellulose-based building materials and other organic food. Dormant mold does not disintegrate or biodegrade over time. The dormant or growing mold can endure being either frozen or high temperatures [up to 160 ºF].
            If deprived of water, dormant mold fungi can survive without air, food, and water for millions of years in a hostile environment waiting for moisture or water and food to restart and to spread mold sickness and illness, toxic mold spores, mold growth, mold infestation and contamination. Mold does NOT need air or light to reproduce and to grow. Toxic mold grows well in both hot and cold climates [such as Alaska and Canada], and up to 6 miles high. Mold must be killed and removed by mold damage restoration.  Learn the Top 10 Mold Mistakes to Avoid.   Black Toxic Mold Home Remedy Recipes.

Toxic Black Mold Allergy, Respiratory Problems, & Mold Health Issues

"Molds are usually not a problem indoors, unless mold spores land on a wet or damp spot and begin growing. Molds have the potential to cause health problems.  Molds produce allergens (substances that can cause allergic reactions), irritants, and in some cases, potentially toxic substances (mycotoxins). Inhaling or touching mold or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.  Allergic responses include hay fever-type symptoms, such as sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, and skin rash (dermatitis).  Allergic reactions to mold are common.  They can be immediate or delayed.  Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold.  In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people.  Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold.  Research on mold and health effects is ongoing" advises the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

German Children Mold Study
        
  "Our [research study] results suggest that indoor mold spore exposure, mainly during winter, might increase the risk of sensitization to all allergens in children...[W]e found that allergic sensitization was significantly associated with exposure to one or more genera of indoor mold spores, even after adjustment for house dust mite exposure. The effect strengthened when we restricted our study population to children who had lived in the same home since birth. Furthermore, our study suggests that high indoor spore counts might increase the prevalence of allergic symptoms in all children whether they are sensitized or not."

Fungal Infections

Deadly Tsunami Fungal Infection. Survivors of the Asian tsunami could be at risk of the deadly fungal infection Mucormycosis, Australian researchers said on Jan. 28, 2005. Doctors at Sydney's St George Hospital treated the Mucormycosis infection in an Australian man who was injured in the disaster. Doctors fear it could be the first case of many. This fungal disease is caused by the Mucor mold species, which is a very common mold species that readily grows in water-damaged buildings worldwide, and which is commonly found in the soil and in decaying vegetation. Mucormycosis affects the sinuses, brain, lungs, skin and kidneys. People with immune disorders are more susceptible to the infection. Mold Health Problems.  

Mold Skin Diseases

Coccidioides immitis mold [the cause of widespread "Valley Fever" in the southwestern USA desert cities] is on the U.S. Dept. of Human Service list of biological agents and toxins that have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety, and that can potentially be utilized by terrorists to infect and kill Americans.  Top 10 Mold Mistakes to Avoid.

Moldy Food

Mold fungus spores are very small in size and can easily enter the human body by breathing [nose and mouth], eating mold spores [often contained IN food and from landing ON food], drinking mold infested water, entry through one's eyes, entry through open skin cuts and sores, and sometimes skin absorption through skin pores. According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration [FDA], "Most moldy foods should be thrown out. But you might be able to save molding hard cheeses, salami, and firm fruits and vegetables if you cut out not only the mold but a large area around it. Cutting the larger area around the mold is important because much of the mold growth is below the surface of the food."

"Sick Building Syndrome"

Molds and fungi growing inside buildings may be the source of indoor air-quality problems known as the "sick building syndrome." While the syndrome has been blamed on a variety of causes, from the emissions of particleboard partitions and paints to carpets and cleaning supplies, Georgia Tech research has found that metabolic gases emitted from molds and fungi may be a significant source of airborne volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can cause indoor air-quality problems. The new research suggests that control measures prescribed for sick buildings may need to be altered to address microbial problems as well as building materials.

Toxic Black Mold In Homes

Most Homes Have a Mold Problem. Even if your home looks clean, chances are good you've got mold, often at levels high enough to trigger allergy and asthma attacks. That bit of dour news comes courtesy of a new university research study that also found the mold is frequently in areas most people don't associate with it -- windowsills, for instance. After surveying 160 homes in seven U.S. cities, Kelly A. Reynolds of the University of Arizona, Tucson, found that 100 percent of the homes tested positive for mold on some inside surface. The discovered molds were all highly allergenic molds. Read the entire home mold research.

The Ottawa, Canada-based Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) warns in a pamphlet published at its web site that "if you live in a damp house, or have ever experienced flooding, your house may be breeding an often invisible and always unwelcome intruder - mold." Ken Ruest, Senior Researcher with the CMHC points out that, "a lot of people are unaware there's a toxic mold problem until their house is so badly affected they can't live in it anymore."  Toxic black mold in homes is also common. New home mold is also a very common problem.  How to get rid of mold in the home or workplace.

The food source for fungal growth in buildings may include cellulose, which can be found in ceiling tile, insulation, sheetrock, as well as wood and dirt. Clothing, carpeting and padding, draperies, upholstered and wood furniture, leather shoes, and other cellulose-based home contents are also favorites for mold to eat and grow. Mold organisms have three modes: (1) active, live mold growth when the mold has your house to eat and access to high humidity or water leaks; (2) dormant mold or inactive mold, when the mold spores and mold colonies go into sleep waiting for renewed access to high humidity or water leaks; and  (3) dead mold [no longer capable of reproducing or living]. All three modes are dangerous to health. Even the smell of dead mold can make mold-sensitive persons sick.   Mold-Bleach-Myth  Mold Health Problems

Toxic Black Mold Health Symptoms, Illnesses, Problems

The “toxic mold” term refers to any mold that produces mycotoxins in its spores. Mycotoxins are generally recognized to be cytoxic, meaning they have the capacity to pass through the human cellular wall and disrupt certain cellular processes---causing serious health damage to residents and workers.  Stachybotrys ("black mold"), Cladosporium, Penicillium, and Aspergillus are the four most dangerous indoor toxic molds---frequently found to be growing in homes and workplaces.  Mold Terms Mold Health Problems.

Toxic black mold and fungi problems can cause severe health problems and mold illness such as birth defects, miscarriages, headaches, memory loss, destruction of brain tissue, cancer, allergic reactions, loss of hair, skin disease, open skin sores, skin rashes, skin lacerations, fungal infections, chronic sinusitis, sinus problems, allergies to mold, lung diseases [like Aspergilliosis], and other respiratory illnesses, mold induced infections, and even death.

Bleach: NOT effective in Killing Black Toxic Mold

Bleach does NOT kill toxic black mold spores and mold growth or household mold or stop toxic black mold growth on porous surfaces such as wood and other builng materials. "While bleach is often recommended for remediation of surface mold on wood, our [university research study] results illustrate that the treatment does not eliminate the surface microflora," is the conclusion of the Oregon State University study of the effects of chlorine bleach on mold growth on Douglas fir wood [an important timber crop in the state of Oregon].
