Wendy Christien - Toxic Mould Exposure

Loading player...
Exposure to chronic mould or mycotoxins can cause an inflammatory immune
response in sensitive people. Mould-contaminated indoor spaces can
negatively impact human health. An increase in upper and lower respiratory
conditions is linked to chronic mould exposure.
Mould spores can trigger the production of cytokines and chemokines, which
mediate inflammatory and immune reactions. Mould exposure can cause
asthma, but it can also contribute to atopic skin symptoms as well.
