About Penicillium
Penicillium is a fast-growing mold recognizable by its blue-green coloration. It thrives in humid South Florida environments and spreads rapidly on water-damaged materials, wallpaper, and insulation.
Health Effects
Common allergen causing sneezing, itchy eyes, and respiratory irritation; some species produce mycotoxins.
Common Locations
Wallpaper, insulation, carpet padding, and materials behind chronic leaks.
Professional Removal Method
Remove contaminated porous materials, dry the cavity, and apply antimicrobial sealants after moisture correction.
Don't disturb it. Agitating Penicillium can release a large burst of spores into the air. If the affected area exceeds 10 square feet or anyone is experiencing symptoms, contact a licensed Florida mold remediator before attempting any cleanup.
