A member asked:
How worried should i be about two weeks of mold exposure from a mattress i slept on (not in my home)? i'm feeling the symptoms, am i at high risk?

Not specificly: Exposure to mold can make some people ill in the same way as an allergic person can become ill if they are exposed to cats, goldenrod, tumble weed, etc. For most, it does not set off a cascade of horrible decline that puts you in a casket. If concerned, see your dr.
