Will i be okay if i accidentally swallowed some water with mold spores in it?

No problem: Mold spores are rampant throughout our environment and are frequently present on food without our knowledge. The GI tract is efficient at attacking and breaking down these spores, so you have nothing to worry about.

Moldy water no sweat: Unless you are immunocompromised should not be a problem.
