Admin’s Note

During the rainy season, it’s easy to get unwell, so we need to be particularly careful about the effects of mold. It’s surprising to learn that mold can potentially lead to serious symptoms like pneumonia. In the conversation between Chako and Log, the importance of mold prevention was emphasized, and I believe that small adjustments in our daily lives can be a significant key to maintaining our health. I encourage everyone to focus on cleaning and ventilation to enjoy a healthy rainy season.
