Is Mold in the Basement Causing Our Family to Lose Hair?

I moved into a house two years ago and noticed some mold in the basement. Over the past two years, I have been losing hair and I have seen hair loss in my children. Could the mold be responsible for the hair loss we are observing?

Yes, molds have been responsible for hair loss. Some molds are less toxic than others, but still could be causing your thinning hair. I would suspect that this is the cause, because if hair loss is impacting you and your children, that suggests an environmental cause. It’s really not that uncommon.

See a good dermatologist and ask about it.
