HAPPENING NOW:

Mold risk for babies

Share this story...

Babies who are exposed to mold in homes could be at risk for developing asthma.

A new study finds asthma is three times as likely in 7 year old children if they lived in “moldy”, water damaged homes as babies.

Having a family history of asthma increased the risk even more.

Some symptoms of asthma include coughing — especially at night — wheezing, and having frequent colds that settle in the chest.
