A mum says her asthmatic son is "struggling to breathe" in their flat because it is covered in mould. Aisha Hussain, 31, says her eldest child, Justin, 16, is asthmatic and the thick black mould that's formed on their living room and bedroom walls has made his condition worse.
She says Justin has been on prescribed steroids for three weeks and is using an asthma mask to help him breathe. The mould appeared on the walls of Aisha's flat in Harlesden, London, in November 2021 in their living room and her children's bedroom walls.
The mum-of-three has tried to use mould remover and has contacted her landlord - who manages the property - but says she is "slowly giving up" because there's "no help". Aisha, a stay-at-home mum, said: "It is stressing me out. I have been to the doctor with high blood pressure and my heart has been out of rhythm because of stress.
