Exposure to mold at home or in the workplace can cause irreversible lung damage, ranging from asthma to chronic pneumonia that may lead to pulmonary fibrosis. Early detection and removal of mold can prevent disease progression and protect lung health. Symptoms of lung damage from mold exposure often go unnoticed in its early stages, but a chronic cough lasting more than three months should be evaluated by a medical professional. Certain professions, such as bakers and farmers, are at higher risk of mold exposure. In addition to mold, exposure to birds and certain environments, such as saunas and hot tubs, can also pose respiratory risks. Diagnosing and treating mold-related lung disease requires medical intervention, and early detection is crucial for successful treatment.
