Two things really that go hand in hand for mold prevention is going to be, you know, HEPA rated air filters and also dehumidifying around the clock because you want to see that humidity level inside your home between like 40 and 55%.
Between 40 and 50 is really perfect.
Well, it's really interesting, actually.
Women and children are more susceptible to mold than men.
And so a lot of times in families, you're going to have women and kids that are symptomatic from a mold exposure.
And you maybe have a more skeptical husband who's not symptomatic.
So he doesn't necessarily agree that mold might be the problem because he's like, well, I feel fine.
This is really, really common because women and children, like our immune systems just function a little bit differently than men.
And a lot of times men's like toxic burden level, it's bigger before they start to become symptomatic, right?
And so women, children with very, like, I don't want to say weak immune systems, but just smaller immune systems can be more heavily impacted by these toxins, right?
And the thing that people don't understand about mold is there's two elements of toxic mold that can impact the human body.
There's the mold spores, right?
The actual organisms that can float around in your air, that can be absorbed into your lungs.
They can colonize in your nasal passages, in your gut.
But then there's also the mold has this defense mechanism where it's a living organism.
So if it feels attacked, if it feels like it's being stressed or, um,
Like if there's an outside source, like a mold remediation company that's coming in and spraying chemicals on it, it's going to enact its defense system, which is releasing these very toxic gases called mycotoxins.
It's both the mold spores and the mycotoxins that people need to be aware of.
And most people have no clue what mycotoxins are.
Right.
