Mold Information

Jackson Kung'u

Mold is a recognized health hazard. Every single day thousands of people who suspect they or their families are sick due to mold are looking for mold information on the Internet.

Before believing what you read about mold online be sure you can trust the source of the information.

The Indoor Mold Is An Early Warning Device

The mold (or mould, in the Queen’s English) has been the victim of a bad press. Mention the word and it conjures up an image of something rotting or in the process of decomposition.
