Symptoms include repiratory problems, such as difficult breathing and coughing, as well as headaches, fatigue and rashes. Scrub small, damp, visible patches of mold with a solution made with a cup of bleach in a gallon of water. For large areas of dried mold, call in professionals because tackling this yourself can release toxin-carrying spores into the air. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also offer these tips to prevent the growth of mold: • Do not carpet moist indoor areas like bathrooms and basements. Remove or replace previously soaked rugs and upholstery. • Fix leaky or broken pipes quickly. • Use a dehumidifier to keep indoor humidity below 50 percent. • Clean bathrooms with anti-mold products. • Make sure that ventilation is adequate.
