History Of Mold

In Biblical times, it was known that indoor mold could be a health concern. Mold was identified as the cause of mysterious deaths of farm animals in the 1930′s. “Stachybotrys chartarum” was found growing on wet grain used for feeding animals. The industry now calls for greater regulations and keeps a better watch on the contamination of grains that are fed to animals. In the 1970′s, homes became more air tight and they began being built with drywall instead of plaster. Although the tighter the home, the less of an energy bill, this tightness does not allow the home to breathe creating more suitable conditions for mold to start growing. Usually, if you take care of the moisture problem your home has you will eliminate the likelihood of the mold concerns. Mold is an actual plant that thrives on wet conditions. Some types of mold are harmful and are capable of creating health problems. Other types of mold are beneficial to humans like the drug penicillin or in the consumption of food such as mushrooms and aged cheese.
