HEALTH & WELLBEING: Damp and Mould Can Affect Your Health

The colder weather can lead to damp and mould forming in your home, which can make you more likely to have respiratory problems, respiratory infections, allergies or asthma.

Some people are more sensitive than others, including:

  • babies and children
  • elderly people
  • those with existing skin problems, such as eczema
  • those with respiratory problems, such as allergies and asthma
  • those with a weakened immune system

These people should stay away from damp and mould
