A Baby Hospitalized Due to Mold Exposure from Wall Contamination in Canada

December 2024 a two-month-old baby was hospitalized in Winnipeg Canada after mold in her home contaminated her blood, highlighting a severe housing crisis in northern communities. Her mother fears for her other children, as mold-related illnesses are common in Pukatawagan, Manitoba. Pediatric respirologist Dr. Tom Kovese found that 85% of homes in remote First Nations communities lack proper ventilation, worsening respiratory infections. First Nations leaders urge federal support for better housing, emphasizing that children’s health is at risk.
