A member asked:
If you are living in a place that has mold, what kind of health problems can it cause? is muscle weakness one of them?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mold exposure: Mold is thriving in humid environment. If you develop sensitivities to those particular mold spores, the lining of your airway can get inflamed by exposing to the mold spores in the air you breath in. Depending how severe the inflammation is, you can get symptoms similar to rhino sinusitis, asthmatic flares if you have asthma, general malaise including muscle weakness.
