Damp and mold are not necessarily the cause of health problems, but they can worsen asthma and other respiratory complaints, according to the RIVM. A damp home can cause residents to suffer from sore throat, sneezing and coughing, nasal congestion, wheezing and shortness of breath. In people who are allergic, the complaints occur more often and can be more severe, according to the health institute.
