A member asked:
I wanted to know can mold that's in the bathroom that's on the walls can cause upper respiratory infection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Upper & Lower: Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can cause symptoms such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, wheezing, or skin irritation. Some people, such as those with serious allergies to molds, may have more severe reactions. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds in occupational settings.
