Is It To Be Concerned About Black Mold In House?

My family and I have been living in a house for three years and just found out that the house is full of black mold. What should I be concerned about? My daughter has a cough that started a year ago , and I have had a funny filling in my throat as if it has pop rocks in it all the time. My husband has red eyes and stuff sinuses.

all of your families symptom is because of aspergillus niger or black mold. this black mold is ubiquitous in nature. they sporulate in their growth period. this spore are spread via air route. so when you inhale it cause respiratory infection. you have to remove it from whole of your home. either you do new painting that is anti-mould in nature. or you should do some reconstruction. if you do not consider this problem than all of you get chronically infected.
