Mold

Does mold trigger MS symptoms?

  1. Hi dede74,
    Although everyone reacts differently. Mold can cause inflammation, affect the immune system, and can exacerbate certain autoimmune diseases (including MS).

  3. I lived in a house that had black mold and other molds in it. I believe it stirred up MS and then it all really reared it's ugly head after I got my gall bladder out. Both of my children kept getting extremely sick and I had no energy and started having severe migraines which prompted me to test for mold.
