IT'S no secret that living in a space with mould can be damaging for your health, but one woman discovered just how bad it could get after she discovered the extent of black mould in her home. Autumn Clayman, who is an holistic health coach, recently revealed some of the symptoms she experienced, including burning skin and extreme fatigue, much to some people's shock.

Autumn explained that she first knew something was wrong when she experienced a burning sensation all over her skin, but especially around her face and neck. In the viral video she then showed a photo of her neck covered in red splotches. “I would walk into my apartment and my neck and face would burn,” she noted, as she explained that the burning continued to get worse with the more time she spent in the space.

Not only that, but Autumn said she had an eczema flare-up, which started out as small bumps but soon developed into larger clusters as it spread over her arms, legs and neck. The presence of black mould in her home also led to heightened allergies and congestion, Autumn claimed.

She explained that she was "feeling congested more than ever" and she "couldn’t breathe most of the time.". Not only that, but she also experienced extreme fatigue and "burning, itchy eyes" because of the black mould. Autumn explained in the video that she always felt tired, no matter how much she actually slept.
