Mold toxicity

Topic

Mold toxicity refers to the adverse health effects resulting from exposure to mold and its toxic secondary metabolites, known as mycotoxins. Exposure typically occurs through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact in damp indoor environments, leading to respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and other systemic symptoms. While some symptoms are well-documented allergic responses, broader claims of chronic systemic illness from toxic mold remain a subject of ongoing medical research and debate.
