What are the dangers of mold to the body, and is white mold harmful to the human body

With the heavy rainfall during this time, many people have water pipes and walls in their homes, glass fogging, and the floor is wet, and there is a feeling of wet and smelly smell everywhere in the home!

As the rainy season continues, everyone is helpless with the undry floor, the clothes that can't be dried, and the wet smell that can't be dispersed at home!

What are the dangers of mold in the home?

1. Long-term exposure and inhalation of mold can cause respiratory diseases and allergic symptoms, such as bronchitis, tonsillitis, hay fever, asthma, etc.;

2. People with low immunity may cause headaches, fever, or mucosal inflammation, poisoning, or carcinogens;

3. Cause fungal pneumonia and other diseases;

4. Cause other allergic diseases.

According to the National Institute of Health and Medical Research, researchers studied 1,100 adults with asthma and found that patients who were allergic to mold were five times more likely than those who were allergic to other substances.

Mold that causes mold not only releases allergenic substances and causes allergies, but also hides a large number of hepatitis viruses and influenza viruses in the mold, and some can also cause serious lung lesions and even death.

According to the World Health Organization, household mold exists to varying degrees in more than 80 households around the world. Due to the influence of many factors such as climatic conditions, building quality and family environment, the pollution status of household mold in China is much higher than that of other countries.

The best way to prevent mold!

In fact, not only in spring and summer, we need to prevent mildew, usually our homes are very sealed, and in winter will use heating and humidifiers, which will cause the moisture on the windows to form water droplets and drip onto the curtains, causing the curtains to be wet, and then mold is also easy to breed, so mildew prevention is not in season!

Among the existing wall coating materials, there is a material with very low organic matter content and excellent antibacterial and antibacterial effect, which is diatom mud.

First of all, the main component of diatom mud is diatomaceous earth, which itself is a porous and inorganic mineral, which can adsorb moisture in the air, carry bacterial particles, and reduce the bacterial content in the environment.

Secondly, most of the formulas of diatom mud use inorganic gel materials such as cement, lime, gypsum and other adhesives, and other filler excipients are also inorganic materials, and the products almost do not contain organic matter that provides nutrients to microorganisms, thereby inhibiting the growth and reproduction of bacteria.

Finally, the inorganic cementitious material used in diatom mud can make the wall surface alkaline, and the alkaline environment has a certain killing effect on microorganisms. Of course, in order to enhance the antibacterial effect of diatom mud in special environments, some manufacturers will also add some safe antibacterial and anti-mildew materials to more effectively inhibit the breeding and reproduction of microorganisms in high humidity, closed and other environments. Therefore, diatom mud can not only effectively purify the air, but also has a good antibacterial and antibacterial effect, which can greatly reduce the probability of cross-infection.

Inhalation of mold may cause cough, allergies, endocrine disorders, headaches, chest tightness, fatigue easily, emotional irritability, and allergies. Therefore, it is necessary to stay away from the moldy environment so as not to bring certain harm to the body. Pay attention to the hygiene of the home, keep the room dry and clean, and open the windows frequently for ventilation, especially in the bathroom.

Long-term exposure to mold has a great impact on the body. If there is mold on the furniture, it is necessary to deal with and sterilize it in time, otherwise it may affect the goods or clothes contaminated with mold. Therefore, to maintain indoor air circulation, it is necessary to open windows frequently for ventilation, and when necessary, you can also install exhaust fans in bathrooms, kitchens, basements, etc., which are prone to moisture and mold.

The harm of fungal infection to patients mainly affects the quality of life of patients, and this disease may infect their family members, or even their children, or cause some other diseases, and may also lead to inflammation of the cervix, pelvic inflammation, etc. If the patient is in a serious situation of infection, it may cause premature birth after pregnancy, or even lead to the occurrence of miscarriage in the first trimester, which is harmful to fungal infection. Therefore, we must pay attention to hygiene in daily life to avoid infection.

White mold is a type of fungus that is characterized by a well-developed mycelium and no larger fruiting body. Like other fungi, they also have cell walls, parasitism or saprophytic modes of survival. Mold can turn food into toxic substances, and some may produce toxins in food, known as mycotoxins.

Since the discovery of aflatoxins, there has been a growing concern about food contamination by molds and mycotoxins. The harm caused to human health is great, mainly manifested as chronic poisoning, teratogenicity and mutagenicity.

Mold is a general term for fungi that form branched hyphae. Not a taxonomic noun, taxonomically belonging to the various subphyla of the phylum Fungida. The basic unit that makes up the mold is called hyphae, which are long tubular with a width of 2 10 microns, which can continuously grow and branch from the front end.

No septum or septum, with 1 to more nuclei. The cell wall is divided into three layers: the outer layer of amorphous dextran; The middle layer is glycoprotein, and the protein network is filled with dextran in the middle; The inner layer is chitin microfibrils mixed with amorphous proteins.

When growing on a solid substrate, part of the hyphae penetrates deep into the substrate to absorb nutrients, which is called matrix hyphae or vegetative hyphae; The aerial hyphae that stretch into the air are called aerial hyphae, which can further develop into reproductive hyphae and produce spores. A large number of hyphae are interwoven into villous, flocculent, or reticulated, etc., which is called mycelium. Mycelium is often white, brown, gray, or bright in color (mucor is white hairy colony, green is Penicillium, yellow is Aspergillus flavus), and some can produce pigments to color the matrix.

Mold multiplies rapidly, often causing a large number of mold and rot of food and utensils, but many beneficial species have been widely used, and it is the earliest type of microorganism used and recognized in human practice.

Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by certain molds on grains or feed, which can be produced during the production, processing, transportation and storage of feed and raw materials. Mycotoxin contamination in feed and the harm it causes is still a problem that farmers tend to ignore and can easily be confused with other diseases. Common mycotoxins in feed include aflatoxin (AF), zearalenone (F-2 toxin), T-2 toxin, vomitoxin and ochratoxin.

There are five main aspects of the hazards of mycotoxins in feed or raw materials: Effect on the nutritional value and digestion and utilization rate of feed. Reduce the palatability of feed and affect feed storage and use.

High doses of mycotoxins can lead to poisoning of pigs, causing visceral lesions and even death. Long-term intake of feed containing low-dose mycotoxins can reduce the activity of animal T and B lymphocytes, inhibit the production of immunoglobulins and antibodies, and thus affect the body's immune function. And different toxins can cause different clinical symptoms, such as aflatoxin, which can lead to sow abortion and immunosuppression; zearalenone, which can cause abortion in sows, ovarian atrophy and vas deferens in boars; T2 toxin, which can cause inflammation and lesions in pigs.

Mycotoxin residues in animals have an impact on the safety of animal products.

It's very harmful, it's impossible to prevent, I don't want to know how it came about, I just want to know why it didn't!

How can there be no harm of mycotoxins in farms? Tell you, just three words: Le Poison Qing.

OVERVIEW: Avirgillosis is a common mycosis that can be infected by a wide variety of birds. It is generally believed that Aspergillus fumigatus is the main pathogen, and Aspergillus flavus also has varying degrees of pathogenicity. The disease is characterized by inflammation of the respiratory tract, especially the lungs and air sacs.

What are the symptoms of goose aspergillosis?

1.Clinical signs:

The disease mainly occurs in 114-day-old goslings, with an incubation period of 210 days, and the acutely ill goslings usually die within 23 days.

The disease mainly infects the respiratory tract of geese, so the sick chick will show frequent breathing, and will make a friction sound, the neck air sac will be significantly swollen when the mouth is wide open and inhaled, and the breath will make a sharp sound when the air bag is ruptured.

Sick chicks sometimes open their mouths to gasp for air, close their eyes and stretch their necks, accompanied by increased body temperature and increased thirst. The sick chicks are mentally atrophied, their eyes are half-closed, they have no energy, their heads and necks are retracted, their wings droop, their feathers are loose and shiny, they are short of breath, and there is a phenomenon of serous secretion flowing out of the nasal cavity and eyes, and there is a phenomenon of snot flicking.

Sick goose appetite loss, severe appetite loss, rapid emaciation, weak physique, in the later stage of the disease disease goose will have difficulty swallowing, dyspnea, often diarrhea and dysentery, if not carried out in time will lead to death. And the mortality rate increases with the duration of the disease.

What causes aspergillus in geese?

1. Environmental conditions are an important cause of the epidemic of the disease, especially the feeding management in the brooding period has a great impact.

2. If the indoor temperature difference is large, the ventilation is poor, the goose is too dense, dark and damp, and malnourished, it will promote the occurrence and epidemic of this disease.

3. Rainy season. The brooding room uses the sawn wood residue that has been accumulated for a long time and has become moldy as bedding, mainly because the feed is spilled on the bedding, and the goslings eat the feed on the moldy bedding or the feed is infected with a large number of aspergillus mussels, which can cause aspergillosis in the goslings.

For mold control, many people say that in the use of mold removers, the market is ordinary, can only remove the surface of the enzyme, ** the root of mold is to decompose mold, other mold remover agents will adsorb most of the nutrients in the feed, and Dalong mold Liqing only for mycotoxins, will not have an impact on feed nutrition. It can adsorb a variety of mycotoxins, adsorption is irreversible, and it is no longer released after adsorption, which can completely remove the role of toxins in the digestive tract, not only the mycotoxins on the surface, completely kill mycotoxins, but also achieve antimycotic agents.

The main toxicity of mycotoxins to humans and livestock and poultry is manifested in nervous and endocrine disorders, immunosuppression, carcinogenesis and teratogenicity, liver and kidney damage, reproductive disorders, etc. Chickens are naturally sensitive to mycotoxins, and lower levels of toxins in feed can lead to mass flock deaths.

The effects of mycotoxins on laying hens are mainly manifested in ovary and fallopian tube atrophy, decreased egg production, and malformed egg production. Reduced feed intake, reduced production performance, and reduced feed remuneration. Egg hatchability is reduced.

Different mycotoxins cause different hazards to laying hens. Among the known mycotoxins that have a greater impact on laying hens, ergot toxin, trichothecenites, tomatoxin, zearalenone, aflatoxins, ochratoxins, etc.

The human body pays attention to the growth of mold in a certain part of the body, such as nails, sometimes mold will invade the nails and cause nail fungus, so the nails should not be left long and cleaned frequently. In the folds of sweating, especially in fat people, there are more folds, and if you sweat a lot in summer, it is possible to breed mold in the folds. In addition, the feet are also a favorable environment for mold growth, and people with athlete's foot should pay more attention to prevent infection in other parts.
