'The new asbestos': Hidden mould affecting Canberrans on the rise
Health experts are warning of a growing number of patients suffering from symptoms such as chronic fatigue, cramps and joint pain brought on by mould.
Alarmingly, many cases are believed to have been caused by mould hidden in roofs and wall cavities in homes.
Professional mould cleaners in Canberra have reported a surge in call outs in recent months, receiving dozens of requests for help every week. One is calling the issue "the new asbestos".
There are no official government statistics on how many in Canberra and Australia have been affected by mould-related illnesses, also called chronic inflammatory response syndrome.
Specialists in the field have said there has been an increase in patients seeking treatment.
