Could mold be causing my kids' symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from my bedroom closet. It’s gotten worse every day, especially when it gets humid in the evenings. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits and watery eyes lately, and I’m starting to wonder if there might be mold growing inside. Could this be what’s causing their symptoms?

Yes, mold could definitely be causing your kids' symptoms. In the UAE and especially in Dubai where humidity can spike during certain times of the year, mold growth is quite common post rainy seasons or in cases when there's been a water leak. The musty smell you've noticed along with the increased coughing fits and watery eyes are strong indicators that your closet may be harboring mold.
Molds release spores into the air which can cause allergic reactions and respiratory issues, especially among children who have weaker immune systems or those who suffer from asthma. In Dubai, as in many other regions, it's highly recommended to call for a professional inspection if you suspect mold is present. Our company, Saniservice, offers specialized mold inspections that comply with UAE standards and regulations. Don't wait; act now! Contact us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. Early detection can prevent further health issues for your family and help mitigate any potential damage to your property. Remember, addressing the issue promptly is key in ensuring a safe and healthy living environment. In the meantime, try to avoid going into the closet as much as possible until a professional can assess the situation. If you have to enter, wear protective gear like gloves and a mask rated for mold exposure. Keeping humidity levels low by using dehumidifiers or air conditioners may also help in preventing further growth but won't solve an existing problem. Please don't hesitate to reach out for assistance – your family's health is our top priority. |
