Storm stirs up mold

Wind storms carry more than weather. They also spread mold. Opening windows to the breezes exposes interior spaces to the higher spore levels outside–including pollen. Allergy sufferers are suffering more from unusually high levels of mold due to the storm blowing around and stirring up leaves and composting material and everything and gets the mold levels higher. If you are outdoors doing cleanup after the storm, be aware that you’re exposing yourself to increased numbers of spores and allergins in the air as well as on your skin.
