As hurricane damage assessments continue in western Florida, residents returning home may face an unwelcome guest - mold. After moisture exposure, mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours, and Florida's subtropical climate exacerbates the issue.

While most people are unaffected by short-term mold exposure, individuals with asthma or weakened immune systems may be more susceptible to respiratory problems.
