RA and mold? | Arthritis Information

Hey folks, I hate to be the one raising false concerns, but have to ask. Has anybody heard anything believable about mold being a potential cause, or partial cause for RA, in particular the black mold? Certainly when I search the Internet, as usual, needless to say, of course there are people saying yes. I am probably being a nervous-ninny today, but figured I turn to you for info. Thanks.

Mold is not good for anyone. Black mold is not good for anyone. The actual cause of RA? I guess many things can be triggers. Bacteria, viruses ect.

The cause is hard to say. If you are genetically wired to get RA then many things could cause your wiring to get crossed.

Mold is bad that is all I need to know about it. I guess I do not worry as much about what caused the RA. I worry more about getting rid of it.

I guess I can understand why people worry about what caused thier RA. Just it could be any number of things. Science does not have a clear cut answer. Also what triggered one persons RA may not be what triggered another persons RA.

The reason I do not worry about the cause so much as I did when I first get sick is that it can make you crazy trying to find out what caused the RA. I certainly think mold could trigger it? I do see why not?
