If you were to go into a room and you happen to start sneezing or get itchy, watery eyes and a runny nose, you may have some sort of mold growth in this room. If you leave the room and your symptoms improve, then checking for mold contamination is a smart idea.

If all of them show up, you will need to have someone come into the home and see if they can find the mold. If it is really bad and you are renting the place, you can always move, but if you own the home, you will have to have it removed. If the mold is contained in one area of the home and has not yet spread to many rooms, the remediation may only involve some disinfecting to get rid of it.
