A member asked:
The roofer left a dumpster filled with moldy&rotten debris &wood next to my house for 1 day&1night.can i get infected by mold spores&germs/bacteria?

Unlikely: You should be fine. The spores can travel however so clean any home surfaces, it's generally safe however since the amount of spores needed would be really high to cause infection. And in those with normal immune systems it's quite rare.
