A member asked:
Is it true that black mold can bring you a lot of problems if you eat it or inhale it? why do a lot of websites report so many diabolic symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it's true: Websites report so many symptoms because it is true and can lead to serious health problems including death. However, this applies to only some types of black mold, particularly Stachybotrys chartarum. Some types of black mold are much less toxic. Some people are more sensitive to mold than others.
