Exposure to damp and moldy environments may cause a variety of negative health effects, or none at all. For these people, molds can cause nasal stuffiness, throat irritation, coughing or wheezing, eye irritation, or, in some cases, skin irritation. People with mold allergies may have more severe reactions.

‘Black mold’ or Stachybotrys chartarum (SC) is a greenish black mold that grows on material with high cellulose content, such as wood, straw, hay, wicker, cardboard, fiberboard, etc., particularly when these materials become water-damaged. When these mycotoxins are present, they can suppress and even destroy your immune system, including your lymphoid tissue and bone marrow.
