Depends: There are hundreds of mold types & only a few that are toxic.You might have an individual allergy to one.Penicillin was derived fro a mold.There are a variety of test kits that commercial companies use to test for toxic types, you can ask locally for what is available.Once you find out,you can share the findings with your doc.There is mold on trees outside no one talks about,the issue is overblown
