Don’t be surprised if the answer is “Yes”. Toxins, bacteria, viruses, pesticides, gases, mites, and mold can all be in your home right now. The more you’re exposed to them, the greater your risk of developing serious health problems. This includes Sick Home Syndrome.
The symptoms of Sick Home Syndrome can appear and disappear rather quickly. Symptoms can appear within an hour or two of entering your home and disappear when you’re no longer there. If you experience these symptoms, call the professionals at Mr. Microbe for a free home consultation and let them help you cure your sick home.
What causes Sick Home Syndrome? Is it the same as Sick Building Syndrome?
Sick Home Syndrome can be caused by poor ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources, or from biological activity inside the house. Many VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds) are considered chemical contaminants that can cause acute health effects on a home or building’s occupants. Bacteria, mold, pollen, and viruses are biological contaminants that can also cause Sick Building Syndrome, which is found in office buildings and other places of business.
