Mould creeps in as the cold weather becomes more prevalent but usually we stick on the heating to combat the damp. This year with the cost of living crisis many of us are avoiding putting on heating for longer so mould could be more of a problem.
Not only is mould an eyesore, it can impact our health to different degrees of severity depending on the type. Dave Johnson, Head of Technical at The Underfloor Heating Store explained: ““Mould can be categorised into three different types based on their effects on our health. Allergenic moulds, as the name suggests, incite allergic reactions and even asthma attacks.
“Pathogenic moulds have the most profound effect on those with immune system disorders and pre-existing conditions. The most severe type of mould, toxigenic mould, poses the greatest risk to residents as it can cause serious health issues such as respiratory infections, allergies and asthma.”
