In this eye-opening episode of The Hayley Morcom Podcast, I sit down with Amie Skilton, a highly respected functional medicine practitioner and mould expert, to uncover the invisible yet pervasive threat that mould poses to our health.
Amie’s passion stems from her own harrowing experience with toxic mould exposure, which profoundly impacted her health and led her to specialise in mould-related illnesses. Together, we explore the far-reaching effects of mould exposure, the warning signs, and practical tips to safeguard our health and homes.
Key Takeaways from Our Conversation
- Mould Exposure Symptoms: Mould can cause symptoms ranging from chronic fatigue and respiratory issues to cognitive and emotional disturbances, with children particularly vulnerable.
- Genetic Susceptibility: People with the “mould gene” may be more prone to severe reactions, making early detection and prevention crucial.
- Environmental Factors: Amie emphasises monitoring home humidity levels, as well as understanding how day-to-day habits like drying clothes indoors can raise mould risk.
- Proper Mould Removal: Removing mould is not as simple as wiping surfaces—correct cleaning techniques and tools are essential for effective mould elimination.
- Workplace Exposure: Mould doesn’t just reside at home; many workplaces may also harbour mould, which could impact employees’ well-being.
