Mold is ubiquitous: If a person is not allergic to mold or have an immune deficiency, then inhaling mold spores will likely not result in harm. If a person is having symptoms such as cough, wheeze, shortness of breath, chest tightness, persistent fevers, weight loss, etc, then an evaluation for lung or sinus involvement would be prudent. A healthy person should not have a problem, but still a good idea to avoid.
