Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, or Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (CFS/ME), is characterized by profound and debilitating fatigue, sleep abnormalities, pain, and other symptoms exacerbated by physical exertion. There is currently no cure for CFS/ME. However, research in this field is advancing, and some treatments may provide symptom relief. New research suggests a link between exposure to specific mycotoxins released from toxic molds found in water-damaged buildings and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Mold Allergies

In people with mold allergies, contact with mold in their environment causes the immune system to go into overdrive. They may experience symptoms such as sneezing, watery or itchy eyes, dry and flaking skin, stuffy nose, cough, rashes, and more. Mold allergies are also linked to respiratory conditions such as asthma. 

Respiratory Issues

Mold exposure has been linked to respiratory issues such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, and asthma. Those who already have asthma may have a more difficult time breathing in moldy environments. Prolonged exposure to certain toxic molds has also been linked to pulmonary diseases such as Aspergillosis and COPD.

Mold Illness Statistics

It is estimated that 50% of all homes and buildings in the United States have enough water damage to cause illness in humans.



At least 24% of the population has a genetic defect (HLA-DR), making them susceptible to a mold illness called Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS.)


The other 76% may also experience a variety of reactions and symptoms related to exposure to toxic indoor mold.


You don't need to be good at math to see that water damage and the resulting molds can seriously threaten your health.
