Dangers of Hoarding<\/h2>\n

Hoarding behaviors create dangerous living conditions for everyone in the home.\u00a0 Those affected typically keep things in their home because anxiety and depression make it difficult for them to throw away anything.\u00a0 This causes excessive clutter buildup that can block pathways and exits and increase the risk of injuries from tripping or falling piles of objects.\u00a0 There is also a high risk of fire because the hoarded items can easily ignite and quickly go up in flames.\u00a0 In extreme cases of hoarding, dangerous substances like mold<\/a> and bacteria can appear and create unsanitary conditions.<\/p>\n

If you know someone who\u2019s home is affected by hoarding, you cannot simply show up and start cleaning the home.\u00a0 Instead, you should reach out to them and help them understand the dangerous living conditions so that they agree to clean their home.\u00a0 Only once they have agreed to move forward should you start the process.<\/p>\n
