Need some details for further advice

Detailed Answer:

Hi
Thanks for consulting HCM.

Yes, black molds can cause respiratory symptoms and other systemic problems etc.

Toxic black mold mycotoxins cause irritation and a burning feeling in a person's air passages such as the nasal cavity, mouth and throat.

Symptoms like breathlessness,cough,wheeze,rhinitis,irritation etc.

Kindly give me some details for further guidance:

1. How long are you suffering from this problem?

2. Did you suffer with any symptoms apart from congestion and mucus?

3. when did you notice the black molds?

4. Have you taken any steps to eradicate the black molds from your home?
5. when was the diabetes diagnosed and treatment started?

Kindly get back to me with details

Regards
Dr.Senthilnathan
