Mushrooms belong in a field, on the shelf in a supermarket or even in a risotto. Where they don\u2019t belong is in your bathroom!\u00a0<\/strong>Melbourne renter Ebony Rehannon found this out the hard way\u00a0when her rental house\u00a0turned into a breeding ground for mould and fungi.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It\u2019s every renter\u2019s worst nightmare. Two weeks after moving in Ebony noticed mushrooms growing out of the cracks in her bathroom tiles and mould overtaking her walls.<\/p>\n Mould isn\u2019t only unsightly; it also poses serious health risks when inhaled on a regular basis. Unsurprisingly, Ebony fell sick with a lung infection and was forced to move out of the property in order to recover.<\/p>\n Exposure to fragments or spores can inflame the airways, cause throat irritation, chest tightness and other serious respiratory conditions. Prolonged exposure can have a serious impact on lung function and cause chronic respiratory conditions such as asthma.<\/p>\n Ventilation<\/strong><\/p>\n Warm, damp and poorly ventilated environments are the perfect breeding ground for and bacteria. All rooms, especially wet rooms, such as bathrooms and laundries require adequate ventilation to ensure micro-organisms cannot survive and thrive.<\/p>\n Open windows allowing natural airflow and ventilation fans can be used to remove the dampness from the air and keep any growing micro-organisms at bay.<\/p>\n Mould-Resistant Products<\/strong><\/p>\n If you are building or renovating your house you should research ways in which you can stop the growth of mould.
