How can black mold effect someone who has asthma,copd,and other lung diseases?


My Grandmother lives in a moible home and for the past year she has been in and out of the hospital about 30 times with her asthma,copd and other lung disease could it be caused from the black mold becuase every time they tell her that its in her lungs.

black mold can kill a person with no asthma
so have a professional remove it for you.
DO NOT TOUCH IT OR TRY TO REMOVE IT YOURSELF!!
and get your grandmother out of the mobile home.
With her advanced age and the fact she has asthma would put her at risk EVEN if you have the mold moved professionally.
She needs a new place to live.

black mold is A degree of green mold,the danger potential is very great.the old or very young are at greater risk.I would recommend contacting your local health department.If the property is rental, the land lord is responsible to eliminate the problem or move her at his ex pence.See land lord responsibility's
