What are the signs of health issues from mould?

Damp and mould are becoming a growing problem in UK homes, with complaints surging after one of the wettest years on record. Dr Oscar sheds light on the health risks, from asthma flare-ups and skin irritation to cold-like symptoms that just won’t go away.

Since it’s not always obvious that mould could be the culprit, he explains how to keep a ‘Home and Away’ diary - tracking your health inside and outside your home to spot potential links. Consumer journalist Rebecca Wilcox also shares practical advice: document the issue with photos, report it in writing, and remind your landlord of their responsibility to keep your home in good condition.
