Mold exposure might be more prevalent than you think. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates there could be more than 300,000 species of molds and fungi in existence.
With spores that are easily airborne, molds can get just about anywhere, but they really thrive in damp, humid environments, like certain areas in your home.
When learning how to detox your body from mold, the first place to start is your home.

How to Detox Your Home of Mold
If you suspect you have mold in your home, you’ll want to remove it as soon as possible for your health and well-being. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) suggests that if your moldy area is greater than about three square feet, you should get a qualified mold remediation company to handle the removal. For smaller areas, you can do the job yourself, if you follow some simple rules:- Make sure all leaks and water incursion are fixed. Dry the area completely.
- To avoid getting mold or mold spores in your lungs, wear an N-95 respirator. These are available at hardware stores and online. They will help trap spores in a disposable cartridge, so you can eliminate them safely.
- Wear long gloves, especially if using bleach and water to destroy mold.
- Wear goggles to avoid getting bleach — or mold spores — in your eyes.
- Scrub mold with detergent and water, and dry completely.
- Throw away porous or absorbent materials like carpets if they’re moldy.
