How Indoor Mould Is Wrecking Your Health

When you think about health risks at home, mould isn’t usually the first thing you worry about. However, indoor mould is a silent but severe threat, damaging the health of several worldwide often without their knowledge. Despite how widespread it is, mould remains underestimated and largely unspoken about. In this article, understand why mould could be wrecking your health, and discover little-known facts the internet rarely discusses.

What Is Indoor Mould?

Mould is a fungus that grows where moisture lingers. It spreads through microscopic spores carried by the air, settling in damp, dark corners such as in bathrooms, kitchens, basements or even inside damp walls. Once mould takes hold, it produces allergens, irritants and sometimes harmful toxins called mycotoxins.

Why Indoor Mould Must Be Taken Seriously 

While many know mould can cause allergies and asthma, there’s a darker side rarely discussed:

• Mycotoxins and Brain Health: Mycotoxins produced by some mould species have the ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier, potentially affecting brain function This can lead to neurological issues such as forgetfulness, mental disorientation, emotional imbalances, and a persistent sense of mental cloudiness. Study and research about this connection is only beginning to get scientific attention. Surprisingly, many doctors overlook it.
  
• Mould and Autoimmune Diseases: Emerging research suggests mould exposure may trigger or worsen autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus by confusing the immune system. This link is complex and not widely covered online.

• Hidden Mould Can Impact Hormones: Some mould species produce endocrine disruptors, substances that interfere with hormone function. This can affect reproductive health, menstrual cycles, and even fertility.
  
• Mould and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS): Many CFS sufferers report mould exposure as a triggering factor. Though not fully understood and as part of ongoing investigations, mould toxins might impair mitochondrial function, the very energy centres in cells. This can lead to profound fatigue.

Why Indoor Mould Remains a Hidden Danger

Mould’s greatest danger lies in what you can’t see or smell. Here’s why it frequently goes unnoticed:

• Invisible Growth: Mould can grow inside walls, under floors, behind wallpaper or most importantly – inside HVAC systems without visible signs. Airborne spores spread easily, contaminating rooms far from the original source.
  
• Masking by Cleaning Products: Strong air fresheners and chemical cleaners may mask mould’s musty smell but do nothing to eliminate it. This may give people the mistaken belief that the problem has been resolved.
  
• Intermittent Symptoms: Many people experience symptoms only when in the mould-infested environment, improving elsewhere, which leads them to dismiss the cause.
  
• Inadequate Testing Methods: There are barely any home mould testing kits or methods that people can perform at home to ascertain the extent of infestations. 

Why Is Mould Not Talked About?

• Lack of Knowledge: Majority of us are not even aware that there is something like indoor mould lurking in our homes.
  
• Medical Community Gaps: Many doctors are not trained to recognise mould-related illnesses or lack access to specialised testing, resulting in underdiagnosis.
  
• Lack of Standard Regulation: There are no universally accepted indoor mould exposure limits or regulations set by the government health agencies. This makes it hard to take legal or medical action.
  
• Complex Remediation: Effective mould removal requires more than cleaning. It involves fixing underlying moisture problems too and sometimes removing structural elements. This can be expensive and disruptive.

What the Internet Rarely Tells You About Mould Remediation

• DIY Solutions Often Fail: Simply scrubbing visible mould with bleach may remove surface mould but does nothing to address hidden spores or moisture sources. This often leads to mould returning stronger.
  
• Professional Remediation Can Spread Spores: Without proper containment, remediation work can release spores into the air, thereby, contaminating other areas of the home.
  
• Mould Resistant Materials: Some building materials can resist mould growth, but retrofitting a home with these is costly and not always feasible.
  
• Pets and Mould: Pets can be affected by mould exposure too. They may show signs of respiratory distress or skin problems, which many owners overlook or might not be able to trace a linkage to mould exposure.
  

How to Take Precautions Against Mould At Home

• Control Humidity Religiously: Keep indoor humidity between 30-50%. Dehumidifiers and proper ventilation can help.
  
• Inspect and Maintain: Regularly check hidden areas like behind appliances, inside cupboards. and under sinks. Essentially, the areas where sunlight doesn’t fall, or are hidden always.
  
• Know Your Symptoms: Be alert to unexplained neurological symptoms, chronic fatigue or autoimmune flare-ups that improve when away from home.
  
• Use Professionals Wisely: Choose certified mould remediation experts who use containment procedures to avoid spreading spores.
  
• Test Air and Surfaces: Professional air and surface mould testing can detect hidden mould species and toxins, providing a clearer picture than home kits. In India, home kits are now available, though with unreliable diagnosis.
  
• Consider Building Improvements: Improve insulation, install vapour barriers and ensure proper drainage to prevent moisture build-up.
  

A Rotten World and Forgotten Purpose: The Truth About Human Existence

Indoor mould is a pervasive, often invisible health hazard that can cause far more damage than most people realise. But, do you realise, not knowing the real aim of this precious human birth is far more hazardous?

Just like ignoring mould is ignoring a slow, hidden poison, similarly, ignoring the importance of true worship in life, leads to mouldy and rotten existence. While it may seem we have suddenly shifted gears to a topic seemingly unconnected with mould hazards, the urgency of how the lack of true knowledge of our earthly existence is destroying us, is alarming.

Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj divulges that Earth is a part of Satan’s mortal realm of 21-universes, and no matter how much we try to clean and disinfect, the deteriorating nature of this realm always progresses from bad to worse.

The progressive deterioration that forms a characteristic trait of this world is very apparent in the increased number of health hazards today as compared to the time of our grandparents, the reduced average age of humans, the depletion of natural resources, to name a few.

Is there a way to escape the unpleasantness and scavenging nature of this world? Yes, there is, but not in science and research, but in doing true worship of Supreme God Kabir bestowed by Jagatguru Tatvdarshi Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj alone.

Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj is regarded as the one true Enlightened Saint and the appointed spiritual messenger of Supreme God Kabir. He imparts the authentic worship of our Supreme Creator, leading disciples to complete salvation and our eternal home – Satlok, a pristine and pure land.
