A member asked:
Help can aspergillus penicillium affect kids negatively?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: If kids are allergic to it or if there are excessively high levels in your home than it can cause problems. If it is incidentally present in your home at levels lower than outdoors, than it is probably not worrisome. If you are really concerned see a board certified allergist.
