Minimize mold
Fungus is a parasite that can literally 'grow on you.It can grow on
nonliving organic material, too, in several forms--mold, dry rot, and
downy mildew.Fungi reproduce by producing spores. The spores are the
real problem, as millions of them float through the air to be inhaled
in every breath, touching off an allergic reaction that can contribute
to asthma. It is advised :
* Keep your windows closed, because the mold spores can come right in
through the windows even if the windows have screens.
* Stay out of attics, basements, and other dank, musty places.
* Wear a face mask and give your bathroom a going-over for signs of
mold. (Better yet, have a nonallergic family member do this.) The most
likely spots for mold growth: dark areas, such as the backs of cabinets
and under the sink.
* Examine all closets regularly to see that molds have not set up
housekeeping in unused shoes and boots.
* On a regular basis, have a family member or friend investigate the
inner workings of air conditioners, humidifiers, and vaporizers in your
home where molds like to grow.
* Periodically check houseplants for mold growth. In fact, getting rid
of mold will help your plants, as well.

Actually, searching on complete phrases of that length rarely yields
useful responses. One is much better served entering a combination of
words and sentence fragments grouped by quotation marks.
Keeping my windows closed and staying out of my attic and basement
unfortunately aren't realistic possibilities, but nevertheless thanks
for the mold primer.
