Mold exposure can lead to increased sensitivity, chemical sensitivity, heightened amygdala response, dark feelings, and suicidal ideation.

“Once you get triggered from it, you become more sensitized to it. So, your amydala actually grows in size and sensitivity. This is the part of the brain that determines whether something is a fight orflight response or not. And as you get exposed to mold, not only can you become chemically sensitive, which is why I'm completely fragrance-free, but you can also become sensitive to those molds.”
