Triggers are things that can cause asthma symptoms, an episode or attack or make asthma worse.  People with asthma may have just one trigger, or they may find that several things act as triggers.

Common asthma triggers are:

How do I get rid of mold?

 It is impossible to get rid of all mold and mold spores indoors; some mold spores will be found floating through the air and in house dust.  The mold spores will not grow if moisture is not present.  Indoor mold growth can and should be prevented or controlled by controlling moisture indoors.  If there is mold growth in your home, you must clean up the mold and fix the water problem.  If you clean up the mold, but don't fix the water problem, then, most likely, the mold problem will come back.
