â Risk of trauma: High risk of accidental injury to tissue (wound, burn, fracture â¦). â Risk of aspiration [suction]: Risk of inhaling gastric secretions and / or oropharyngeal, solids or liquids into the trachea and bronchi (because of a malfunction or absence of normal protective mechanisms).
Allergies and Asthma. Breathing in too much mold or mildew can cause allergies. In severe cases, it can also contribute to the development of asthma. These conditions can cause watery and itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, nausea, fatigue, headaches and trouble breathing. Asthma or prior allergies before exposure can make these symptoms worse.
Molds can also cause asthma attacks in people with asthma who are allergic to mold. In addition, mold exposure can irritate the eyes, skin, nose, throat, and lungs of both mold-allergic and non-allergic people. Symptoms other than the allergic and irritant types are not commonly reported as a result of inhaling mold. Research on mold and health effects is ongoing.
