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.
Harmful effects of molds. The type and severity of health effects that result from molds exposure is widely variable among different locations, from person to person and over time. Although difficult to predict, exposure to molds growing indoors is most often associated with the following allergy symptoms: 1  Nasal and sinus congestion. 2  Cough/sore throat. 3  Chest tightness. 4  Dyspnea (breathing difficulty). 5  Asthma (or exacerbation of it). 6  Epistaxis (nosebleed). 7  Upper respiratory tract infections. 8  Headache.
