Though Montana is known for its dry climate, mold can still sneak into our homes and impact our health. I’m seeing this more and more in my practice, including two patients just today who discovered mold in their homes. They now realize this might explain some persistent symptoms they’ve been dealing with, such as:
🔸 Fatigue and brain fog
🔸 Chronic headaches
🔸 Respiratory issues (congestion, wheezing)
🔸 Muscle aches and joint pain
🔸 Skin irritations, rashes, hives
🔸 Mood swings and anxiety
🔸 Digestive issues (constipation, diarrhea, bloating, food sensitivities )
🔸 Allergies
If you have unexplained symptoms, consider the possibility of hidden mold in your home. Mold doesn’t just affect those with known sensitivities; it can cause issues for anyone exposed over time. Addressing mold isn’t just about fixing leaks or cleaning visible areas—it may involve more thorough remediation efforts.
🔍 If you’re renting, reach out to your landlord to investigate any damp areas or visible mold, and make sure your home has adequate ventilation. Your health is worth it! 🌿
