New report lists towns from Sea Bright to Seaside Heights as the most flooded in NJ.

Towns from Sea Bright to Seaside Heights are listed as the most flooded areas in all of New Jersey, according to a new report.

Mold growth in the Ocean County, NJ can lead to a variety of health problems. Removal of affected materials after the source of moisture has been reduced and/or eliminated may be necessary for remediation.

Some molds produce mycotoxins that can cause serious health risks. Some studies claim that exposure to high levels of mycotoxins can lead to neurological problems and in some cases death. Prolonged exposure, e.g. daily home exposure, may be particularly harmful.

The CDC’s own website contains the following warnings regarding the effects mold can have on your health.

“Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of health effects, or none at all. Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, molds can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People with mold allergies may have more severe reactions. Immune-compromised people and people with chronic lung illnesses, such as obstructive lung disease, may get serious infections in their lungs when they are exposed to mold.”
