Mycotoxins

• When you breathe in mold spores and mycotoxins, which are airborne toxins produced by a fungus, this can wreak havoc on your health.
  
  

Identification

• The most dangerous molds are Chaetomium and Stachybotrys, according to Mold-help.org.
  
  

Immune System

• Exposure to mold, particularly if it is long-term exposure, breaks down your immune system and may affect your joints.
  
  

The Elderly

• If your immune system is already compromised, which is often the case with the elderly, you will be even more susceptible to mold exposure.
  
  

Get Tested

• If you are sick and think it may be due to mold exposure, you can be tested for mycotoxicosis, according to Mold-survivor.com.
