Toxic mold, sometimes called black mold, is a term used to describe a variety of fungi that can grow indoors. Despite the names, the mold comes in many colors and is not itself toxic; rather, it releases substances called mycotoxins that can cause toxic reactions, including flu symptoms, respiratory problems, headaches, skin irritation and cognitive problems. Mold also releases spores that commonly cause an allergic reaction in humans, and can less commonly cause a fungal infection of the sinuses, digestive tract, skin or lungs. It can live on drywall, wood and carpets and is exacerbated by darkness and poor ventilation. Toxic mold is more common in buildings constructed after the 1970s, which are more airtight, and is more likely to occur in buildings with persistent water leaks or flooding.
