Could mold from rains hurt my kids?

The possibility of mold thriving due to the heavy rain last month is quite high. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we have faced several instances where prolonged moisture and humidity levels post-rain create perfect conditions for mold growth. The discoloration on your walls near the leaky area could indeed be a sign of mold development. Mold spores can be airborne and might contribute to respiratory issues in children, as they are more susceptible to such allergens.

In cases like these, it’s crucial not to ignore potential health risks. The musty smell is an early indication that something might be amiss. Children experiencing persistent coughs could indeed be reacting to mold spores or other irritants present in the air and environment. It's important to note that some molds produce mycotoxins which can affect both adults and children, leading to symptoms ranging from allergic reactions like wheezing and runny nose to more severe conditions such as asthma exacerbation.
