Are you wondering why you or your child can’t seem to shake off those allergy or asthma symptoms? It’s time to consider the possible role of an unseen culprit – mould. In this revealing discussion, I will be unraveling how mould could be igniting allergic and inflammatory reactions in many of us.

  • Why some people aren’t affected by mould while others are significantly affected;
  • Symptoms and potentially misdiagnosed conditions related to mould exposure including:
    • Fatigue;
    • Respiratory issues: recurrent colds/flu, asthma, bronchitis and more;
    • Chronic Fatigue Syndrome;
    • Brain fog, headaches, cognitive delay;
    • Fibromyalgia, and muscle inflammation;
    • CIRS – Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome;
  • The cause of mould, and how to determine if your house or a building you attend is affected by mould;
  • What leads to mould in a building, and common sources of water damage in a home;
  • Navigating the complexities of mould testing in a home, and why it’s essential to hire a building biologist or an IICRC Accredited Mould Remediator;
