Black Mold
Toxic Health
Effects
There are
millions of known mold species but only about less than 500 species are
recognized to be pathogenic or consider toxic mold and can cause mild to severe health effects to
human and animals. There is a considerable variation in the pathogenicity of
every mold species. Some are HIGHLY pathogenic and capable of establishing
infection especially on immuno-suppressed individuals and depending on the
health conditions of every individual. Like for example in the clinical
significance of Candida species. This species can be a toxic mold species depending on the
normal flora of a person. The Wadsworth Center of
New York State, Department of Health reported, that members of the genus Candida
are found in all areas of the intestinal tract, usually causing no medical
problems. However, in patients with a compromised immune system, life
threatening diseases may result. Listed below are the health effects and
mold health symptoms which are recognized as effects of exposure to toxic
molds.
