1 to 12 days
Also, how quickly can mold make you sick?
But others could make you sick. “Though small amounts of mold probably won't hurt us, there is no species of mold that is 'safe' when inhaled. Those tiny spores could cause a host of health problems; mostly in people with respiratory problems, allergies or a compromised immune system” said Dr. Spahr.
Within 1 to 24 hours – When water damage lasts for 1 to 24 hours, drywall begins to bulge and break, furniture begins to swell and crack, and metal surfaces begin to tarnish. Within 2 hours to 7 days – You will experience growth and spread of mold and mildew.
