A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: There are hundreds of black molds but only one I know of with toxic effects. You can be allergic to any such exposure but that is a transient issue that ends when exposure ends. Formaldehyde/automotive fumes are also simple irritants. Your system may or may not be more sensitive than others. I would neither assume your sickness is related or exclude the possibility. Moving is a good idea
