Mold Exposure Misdiagnosis: Why It's So Common

Here at BioClean CT, we are a leading mold removal specialist in The Constitution State. Since 1988, we've been providing mold remediation services to the residents of Connecticut as well as Westchester County in New York. Unfortunately, a problem our clients often face involves a mold exposure misdiagnosis. What does this mean, and how can you know if you are affected? Here is some information you need to know.

What is Mold Exposure?

Mold exposure can occur when you come into contact with mold spores in the environment. These spores can enter your heating or ventilation system, where they are then dispersed throughout your home. You might then breathe in these mold spores, even if you are unable to see them.

Signs of Mold Exposure

How can you tell if you have been exposed to mold? Here are some signs to look for?


  • An increase in breathing problems such as asthma or upper respiratory infections
  • Frequent headaches
  • General aches and pains
  • Skin rashes
  • Persistent sore throat



Some people may experience these symptoms more frequently than others. For example, those with compromised immune systems are more likely to become ill due to mold exposure. Very young children and the elderly are particularly susceptible as well.

How Is It Misdiagnosed?

The symptoms of mold exposure often mimic that of other health conditions. As such, doctors may attribute them to allergies or the common cold. It's not that physicians are unaware of the dangers of mold. Rather, they are not trained to think of it as a primary cause of certain health problems.
