Moldy Air-Conditioners: Legionnaires Disease

Many people do not understand the damage a un-maintained moldy air conditioner can do to your health. Pumping stale and polluted air into your home can cause serious harm to yourself and your family. Read on further to understand fully what Legionnaires Disease is and how to prevent it from becoming a reality.

Legionnaires’ disease is caused by Legionella bacteria, which are widespread in our environment. A person may catch Legionnaires' disease by breathing in fine droplets of water that contain the bacteria. Early symptoms are like the flu and include: headache, fever, chills, muscle aches and pains, a dry cough and shortness of breath.

Even though you can't see, air conditioners can be a source of Legionnaires Disease due to the build up of mold in the unit

The most dangerous type of mold is the kind that's hidden. Going unseen and undetected, it spreads rapidly throughout your room, exposing you and your family to countless health problems.
