Excessive water from Tropical Storm Fay causing water intrusion from rising floodwaters and leaking roofs has created an idealenvironment for the proliferation of mold in buildings throughout the TreasureCoast. "Mold becomes a problem where moisture levels and temperature facilitate their growth and reproduction," said Kenneth J. Palestrant, M.D., founder of Physicians Immediate Care. Then, too, building materials, such as drywall, have great absorbency. Materials don't readily dry out, spurring fungal grown. "Since many people spend most of their time indoors with closed windows, the proliferation of mold can literally become a major headache," added Dr. Palestrant.

If your home has been flooded or is experiencing water leakage, you may be experiencing a rash of respiratory problems. Physicians Immediate Care, the premier provider of urgent care medicine on the TreasureCoast, wants to remind residents that they are available on an urgent basis if you have health questions or concerns, or if you have been accidently injured during cleanup.
