Health Effects

Inhalation exposure to mold indoors can cause health effects in some people. Inhaling or touching molds or mold spores may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.  Mold does not have to be alive to cause an allergic reaction.  Dead or alive, mold can cause allergic reactions in some people.  Molds can cause three types of adverse health effects in humans; allergy, infections, and toxin-mediated conditions.
