Tampa Toxic Mold Lawyers
Mold is a common problem in buildings that have not been properly cleaned or maintained. In some cases it is nothing more than an ugly nuisance. However, certain types of mold have been linked to dangerous toxins that can be released into the air, even affecting people who do not have any mold allergies. These types of fungi are commonly known as toxic molds.

Toxic Mold Syndrome
The most potentially dangerous varieties of common molds are called stachybotrys and chaetomium, also known as black molds. Over time, a person who is consistently exposed to black mold may begin to develop the symptoms of toxic mold syndrome, which include:
- Fibromyalgia (muscle pain that will not go away)
- Persistent coughing and shortness of breath
- Dizziness, disorientation, or difficulty concentrating
- Itching eyes, increased sensitivity to light
- Increased number of headaches
- Weakness and fatigue
- A metallic taste in the mouth
Diagnosis can be a long and frustrating process, as there are many conditions that may potentially cause problems like these. If you have been suffering from symptoms similar to a cold or flu that will not go away, you may want to have your building inspected for toxic mold.
Additionally, proving that your toxic mold injuries were caused by negligence on the part of a property owner or former tenant can be extremely complicated. However, by working with an experienced Tampa toxic mold lawyer, you can hopefully receive the compensation you deserve as quickly and painlessly as possible.
