Likely ok: Most mold spores are not harmful to people when exposed to small quantities. I won't lose sleep over it.

No worry: Agree with Dr. Chiu. Mold spores are normally present in the air and what you described is not likely to have done you any harm. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.
