Health effects on a UV student
A resident of University Village was willing enough to let me interview them. The resident spends most of their time in their room at University Village. They had the mold in their bathroom cleaned by the University Village staff. The staff at University Village use bleach which can cause health problems or make existing problems worse. This resident did not have any pre-existing respiratory health issues. Although they got mild allergies since moving to University Village while previously they did not experience allergies. Also after getting a cold around the time of Halloween the resident expressed that they were coughing more than they normally did during a cold. This may be just be a particular strain of cold but I believe with the other evidence about their respiratory health that it may directly linked to the mold. There is an obvious problem with the mold affecting ones health. Not everyone necessarily is affected by mold, nor is every bathroom filled with mold but it should be treated for the health issues of those whose health will worsen because of it.
