Breathing in excessive amounts of radon can cause cancer. Exposure or contact with mold can irritate your eyes, skin, nose, throat and lungs and in some instances trigger severe allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Before you start to panic, take a deep breath and relax.
Not everyone exposed to radon will develop cancer. The time between exposure and the onset of the disease is usually many years. Unlike smoking, occasional exposure to radon does not produce any symptoms, such as coughing or headaches.
