Dr. Stevan Cordas answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Black mold: In humans black mold poisoning is controversial and usually mild. It may come from ingested of moldy grain but would be uncommon. Inhalation of balck mold spores can produce fatigue and allergy and temporary memory impairment in my experience by actual neurotoxicity is controversial.
