And what to do if you find mold.
The thought of mold in your home is scary. Mold exposure can lead to issues like sneezing, itchy eyes and skin irritation in both those who are allergic to mold and not allergic, and it can cause asthma attacks in those with the condition. Plus, it can wreak havoc on things like cabinets and walls.
It’s easy to ignore things like kitchen spills or leaky faucets, but you really shouldn’t, experts say. Mold and moisture go hand-in-hand, making the kitchen — with its sinks, dishwashers and spills — a culprit for mold growth in your home.
“The key to mold control is moisture control,” a spokesperson from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) told HuffPost via email.
