A member asked:

How long do symptoms of black mold last?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. John Chiu answered

Depends: If you have developed an allergic reaction to the molds, the condition may improve but not go away when no longer exposed. If your symptoms are from the irritating effects of the volatile organic compounds which give mold the musty odor, then these symptoms should be gone shortly after the exposure.
