Humidity:
What are the health risks?

When a house is too humid, mold appears on the walls. Seemingly harmless, these fungi release spores that infiltrate the respiratory system. By breathing them for too long, you expose yourself to certain diseases.
Moreover, 15% of humidity problems cannot be treated because they are diagnosed too late. In the event of mold, blistering paint or warping wood floors, don't wait: contact professionals.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of potential health risks due to high humidity levels.

Humidity in the home can cause allergies because it promotes the presence of dust mites. You may also be prone to infections such as bronchitis, rhinitis or conjunctivitis.

If you already have respiratory problems, poor indoor air quality can make them worse.

This is especially important if you have young children. They are much more sensitive to the presence of mold. They are almost twice as likely to develop asthma or allergies if they live in a damp house! Also, babies who already have asthma can develop a chronic cough if they breathe in spores for a long time.
