Yes it can affect your sinuses, in fact you could become extremely ill if the mold does not go away. Always wear a mask and gloves when cleaning mold. You're doing great by cleaning it with a bleach solution. In order to help keep excess moisture from staying in your apt. I would recommend getting a dehumidifier. The dehumidifier will remove the excess moisture in a bucket that will have to be emptied every 1-2 days.

Good luck

Absolutely, I agree with the above poster. If there is an aparent sign of water seeping in, it should be fixed. Otherwise, a dehumidifier should help out.  Also, a dr can prescribe zyrtecZyrtec

Toxicology screen mold in homes in Texas) One of the main reasons State Farm Insurance almost went under in Texas!!  We have "white mold" where I live (drier climate) it comes accross as a white residue. It's still extremely weakening to your system!  I do have a friend that had to sell their home and move because he became SO ill from it during a renovation of his home. I guess stucco siding is a HUGE issues for harboring mold spores.  I would move personally, after seeing what my friends gone and going thru so extreme - it even caused memoryMemory loss

I agree with Deeds and ScarletScarlet fever
Signs of scarlet fever, especially for a basement apartment. Mold is very dangerous at best, and can severely compromise your health. Unfortunately it's something that you can't simply mask, but must deal with directly. Mold thrives on moisture so your biggest challenge is making sure the walls stay dry so that mold doesn't "put down roots" so to speak. Your second problem is getting rid of the mold spores that are already in your air.

As far as the HEPA filter goes, it is a good idea, except that they can be pricey. Although I'm not sure if you can get a better alternative with you being in an apartment complex. If you do have a very large problem with mold, I would firstFirst progesterone mc10
First progesterone mc5
First-progesterone vgs 200
First-progesterone vgs 400 get a ozone machine (but only if you have a very large problem as these too can be pricey), have it running while you LEAVE THE APARTMENT for a few hours. What this will do is it will take care of the odor as well as destroy the mold cells and its ability to reproduce.
Doing all this together should make you quite fit as far as mold problems go.

I hope that this has helped.

Let's see - the mafia, the IRS, or mold.  Like the cockroach surviving nuclearNuclear ventriculography war, if I had to put my money on the three - I would say mold could wipe out both the mafia and the IRS.  All of the above helps are excellent.  As for Honeywell, all I can say is my allergist has an amazing air filter in his office, which is not the round Honeywell, and costs a lot of money, but you can feel the air difference.  I have not ran an air filter in my apartment in years, and am planning on purchasing the best I can afford.  Basically, I was extremely ill with asthmatic bronchitisAcute bronchitis
