Charles Runels, MD Living in a Hurricane frequented area, I get many questions about mold. I think the danger may be over emphasized but a few easy precautions should be followed your you could put yourself in danger.
You will find plenty of information on the internet and in the library about mold. I've sorted through much information and chose a a few links to information that II think most reliable and helpful:
A summary of the medical dangers of Hurricanes and Tsunamis
This is a great site from the Environmental Protection Agency that goes into detail about how to clean up after a flood.
Here's an introduction to molds and to the symptoms associated with exposure.
Peace & Health,
