• It is estimated that 70% of homes in the United States have mold. Mold can start to grow on a damp surface within 24 to 48 hours.

• Because of the way mold grows, it can easily hide in cracks and behind walls.

• Mold isn't just on the walls; it's in the air of your home.

• Mold reproduces using small spores that float in the air.
   

• Mold survives where moisture and organic material are present. Organic material includes dust, fabric, wallpaper, wood, and paint.

• Mold grows in as little as 24-48 hours.

• Mold prefers areas with no sunlight that have little airflow.

• Even homes that have never suffered from water damage can be affected due to high humidity levels in warmer temperatures.

• As mold matures, it reproduces, sending seed-like spores into the air.
   

Organico uses EnzyCleanse, a BioPreferred enzyme-based product, distributed in a mist form to treat the affected areas. Learn more about BioPreferred products here.

FAR 52.223-2 requires federal agencies give preference to biobased products designated under USDA's BioPreferred Program. Learn more here.

Mold exposure has also been linked to more serious, long-term effects. Some of the common toxic effects leading to physical, mental, and cognitive symptoms include: 

​

• Anxiety

• Cancer

• Chronic fatigue

• Confusion

• Depression

• Diseases of nearly all body systems, including the digestive system, the immune system, and the nervous system

• Disorientation

• Irritability

• Lung scarring (fibrosis) and/or bleeding

• Memory loss

• Mood swings

• Pregnancy complications

• Problems with the liver, kidneys, and blood

• Trouble sleeping

• Trouble with focus and concentration

Chronic inflammatory response doesn't have to see to have damage on a cellular level, gut lining hormones, sinus congestion, new food sensitivities, and changes in histamines low levels and neurological disorders, mold allergy vs mold toxicity, inflammation, misdiagnosed, environmental genetics, and other factors to take into account, tight dust is an issue, skin food, and breathing it in. Mycryotins can cross the blood-brain barrier.

Notes from Gary Brecka 

​

"Epidemiological links between several mycotoxins and a diverse array of health issues, encompassing neurological and developmental effects, have been established in both animals and humans [1,5,6,7]. Mycotoxins are considered the most prevalent food-related external toxin capable of affecting the brain, with some also known to traverse the blood–brain barrier (BBB), thus permitting their accumulation in brain tissues where they disrupt the normal function of the central nervous system (CNS)."

• The usefulness of tradtional household chemicals for treating mold, such as bleach and ammonia, is limited to non-porous surfaces and is a temporary solution.

• Porous materials will likely need to be replaced.

• Without eliminating sources of moisture the mold will re-grow.

• It only takes  3-5 mold spores to cause an allergic reaction.

• Tens of thousands of lawsuits have been filed against landlords, insurance companies, and developers over mold-related issues.

• Unfortunately, many people wait until someone is sick to treat mold. The best solution would be to take care of the problem before it starts.
   

• Treatment may include laboratory assessment.

• Trained professionals have the appropriate equipment and skills to assess the problem.

• Professionals will be able to recognize issues that must be resolved to prevent future growth.
   

• Mold can grow inside ducts, behind wallpaper, behind drywall panels, and behind ceiling panels.

• Mold does not have to be visible to be present. 

• Mold can severely impact one's physical and mental health.
   

• Properties affected by mold may decrease drastically in value while remaining difficult to sell.

• Structural damage may occur.

• The property's indoor air quality is compromised by mold.

• Indoor aesthetics may be affected by the presence of mold.

• Mold can grow year-round.

• Research has shown that 1 to 10 million mold spores can be present in a single square foot of drywall.

• Mold present in a basement will rise throughout the property due to the “Stack Effect”, in which warm air rises in the building and exits through the upper levels and attic. A vacuum is created on the lower levels, which draws air upwards from the basement and crawl space, and anything in that air (including humidity, dust mite feces, spores, and odors) may be drawn into the main area of the home where you breathe
