Jonathan Wilson from the Center for Healthy Housing explained how the rising temperatures help the mold grow.

�Once you get some heat on them and some moisture, that's going to help them bloom. You're going to get new eruptions of mold colonies in these homes,� explained Wilson.

Currently, a �healthy home� has a spore count of about a 1,000 parts per cubic meter of air.

�We're seeing over a million spore counts, in those homes when work's being done, so, those are extraordinary numbers,� said Wilson."
