Understanding Mold Sensitivities in Humans & Pets

Understanding Mold Sensitivities in Humans and Pets: What You Need to Know – From the Experts at Boone’s Restoration Technologies

At Boone’s Restoration Technologies, we understand how mold can impact not just your home, but the health of everyone inside—including your pets. Serving communities across Montgomery and Harris Counties—including The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, Magnolia, Montgomery, Cypress, and Tomball, TX—we’ve seen firsthand how mold sensitivities can affect families and furry companions alike.

What Is Mold Sensitivity?

Mold is a natural fungus commonly found in both indoor and outdoor environments, especially in areas with high moisture. But when mold grows inside your home, it can lead to serious health concerns. Mold sensitivity occurs when people or animals react to mold spores and byproducts like mycotoxins, often triggering symptoms that range from mild allergies to chronic respiratory issues.

Common Indoor Sources of Mold in Texas Homes:

• Damp basements and crawl spaces

• Bathrooms and kitchens with poor ventilation

• Leaky pipes, roofing, and windows

• HVAC systems with moisture buildup

• Carpet, upholstery, or insulation exposed to humidity

Mold Sensitivity Symptoms in People: Living in Texas, where humidity levels are high, many residents are at increased risk of mold exposure. Common symptoms include:

• Respiratory issues (coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath)

• Allergic reactions (itchy eyes, sneezing, rashes)

• Fatigue, headaches, and brain fog

• In severe cases: lung infections or immune complications

How Mold Affects Pets:

Our four-legged family members are just as vulnerable to mold exposure as we are. At BRT, we’ve heard from clients across Spring, Conroe, and Magnolia whose pets showed the following signs:

• Sneezing, coughing, or labored breathing

• Itchy skin, fur loss, or rashes

• Vomiting, diarrhea, or appetite loss

• Unusual lethargy or behavioral changes

Diagnosing Mold Sensitivity:

• For humans: Allergy testing (skin or blood tests) can help identify mold reactions.

• For pets: Vets may rule out other conditions and recommend mold testing in the home if symptoms persist.

How to Prevent Mold Growth in Your Texas Home:

• Repair plumbing or roof leaks promptly

• Control indoor humidity with proper ventilation and dehumidifiers

• Regularly clean bathrooms and other moisture-prone areas

• Use HEPA filters in your HVAC system to reduce airborne mold spores
