Complications of Mold for People with Compromised Immune Systems
People with compromised immune systems may be more susceptible to mold. Exposure to mold can impact multiple biological systems in the body because fungi can mutate quickly and produce chemicals that further suppress your immune system.

- Limit outdoor activities during high mold counts.
- Wear a dust mask when you mow the lawn, work in the garden, rake leaves or handle any plant materials.
