An Australian nutritionist began experiencing symptoms of fatigue and dementia after moving to a new house and was later diagnosed with a form of Alzheimer’s disease. Eventually, it was discovered that her symptoms were linked to severe mold growth caused by water leaks in the house. This case was reported by Australian media in 2022.
Household mold may act as a potential trigger for Alzheimer’s disease, though this claim remains a topic of debate among experts. Some microbiology researchers suggest that untreated mold infections in their early stages could impair brain function.
