Recent studies have shown that young children between the ages of 1-6 who already suffer from allergies are most susceptible to developing asthma if they are exposed to mold and moisture damage. Researcher Anne Karvonen stated “The most significant finding was that moisture damage with or without mold in the rooms where children are expected to spend most of their time is associated with increased asthma risk, and it appears to be permanent.”
Mold growth is caused by excess moisture, that is why it is important to have rooms like your bathroom properly ventilated.
