fungi?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>White vinegar is an efficient mold and mildew cleaner to eradicate the fungi from the root. It is known to kill even the deadliest mold; the black mold. Contrary to popular belief, bleach is ineffective in killing mold and mildew. Using bleach makes the mold seep inside and grow out later even stronger, causing more damage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alternatively, you can also go for Tilex Mold and Mildew Remover Spray and Lysol Mold and Mildew Blaster for killing mold and mildew and removing the stains left by them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-mildew-harmful-to-your-health\"><\/span>Is mildew harmful to your health?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mildew can prove harmful for health by causing common symptoms like nausea, allergic reactions, breathing difficulties, headaches and other related pains, fever, et al. The more serious health issues include nervous disorders, vomiting, chronic bronchitis, blindness, brain damage, bleeding lungs, brain fog, memory loss, to name a few.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-happens-if-you-breathe-in-mildew\"><\/span>What happens if you breathe in mildew?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Breathing in mildew can cause a runny nose, sneezing, watery and red eyes. More prolonged exposure can cause severe respiratory and neural complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-do-you-detox-your-body-from-mold\"><\/span>How do you detox your body from mold?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There has been no known at-home detoxification method for mold. The blogger-claimed techniques, like to pull the mold out of the system using activated charcoal or bentonite clay, have been proven to cause profound health implications. Additionally, FDA disapproves of all such methods. Hence, it is recommended to visit a certified health practitioner than to worsen the issue with wrong DIY remedies.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"can-mold-grow-in-your-lungs\"><\/span>Can mold grow in your lungs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, mold can grow in the lungs as well. By binding with the white blood cells, mold can grow in the lung cavities. Serious lung diseases like tuberculosis originally form such cavities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"is-it-dangerous-to-smell-mildew\"><\/span>Is it dangerous to smell mildew?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it is extremely dangerous to smell mildew as it can cause similar illnesses as inhaling mold. From mild respiratory issues like sneezing, coughing, wheezing, the illness may worsen to high fever or severe headaches if not addressed on time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how-quickly-can-mold-make-you-sick\"><\/span>How quickly can mold make you sick?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Falling sick from mold is subjective and can impact everyone differently. Those sensitive to allergic reactions like asthma or skin rashes can catch an illness in just a few days of mold showing up on the surface. Others with stronger immunity response or low sensitivity to smells might stay healthy for weeks and stay unaffected.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-foods-kill-mold\"><\/span>What foods kill mold?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To kill mold, one must incorporate the foods that annihilate mold action or helps in detoxifying the body of mold infection. Such foods include :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Tubers and root vegetables like ginger, radish, onions, garlic.<\/li><li>Herbs like cilantro, oregano, basil, rosemary, thyme.<\/li><li>Spices like cloves, cinnamon, sage, turmeric, cayenne pepper.<\/li><li>Oils like olive oil, coconut oil.<\/li><li>Green leafy vegetables like lettuce, kale, spinach.<\/li><li>Legumes like chickpeas, split peas.<\/li><li>Seeds and nuts like Macadamia nuts, Brazilian nuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, flax seeds.<\/li><li>Gluten-free grains like quinoa, buckwheat, millets.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, avoid all processed foods, refined sugar, gluten, caffeine, and dairy products to help the body fight back.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what-does-toxic-mold-look-like\"><\/span>What does toxic mold look like?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Toxic mold often looks like a black or greenish patch growing in the decaying paper, wood, food, or moist and humid areas. It might be giving off a nasty smell on getting closer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"mold-vs-mildew-5-key-differences\"><\/span>Mold vs. Mildew: 5 Key Differences<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table alignfull\"><table><thead><tr><th>Basis<\/th><th>Mildew<\/th><th>Mold<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>Shape<\/td><td>Mildew has a flat shape on the surface.<\/td><td>Mold has a rounded shape.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Color<\/td><td>Mildew can have yellow, white, or gray color.<\/td><td>Mold typically has a black or green color.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Texture<\/td><td>It can have a powdery or fluffy texture.&nbsp;<\/td><td>Mold can be either fuzzy or slimy.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Growth pattern<\/td><td>Mildew has a spill-like pattern, growing outward.

It is, therefore, potentially less harmful than mold. Also, considering black mold vs. mildew, the former one is known to be the deadliest out of all kinds of molds and mildew.
