It’s not like mold can make you sick...
You’re right. It is good for the development of babies’ young lungs. It creates a healthy immune system, despite incessant coughing, sneezing and sinus infections.
Some mold doesn’t do much, but you’d have to test it to be sure of the situation. I doubt that they’d voluntarily test.
>>> It’s not like mold can make you sick...
Actually, it doesn’t. Not directly anyway.
Some molds HAVE been linked to various disease, but for the most part, it is usually not infectious to humans.
HOWEVER....
The body treats it like any other intruder... activating your immune system and contributing to an eventual allergenic response.
And, when the body’s immune system is in continual non-stop warfare, it is degraded and compromised.
So no... the mold doesn’t make you sick. It just makes you VULNERABLE to getting sick.
Bingo - at least that seems to be the government's attitude. Years ago, I knew a vet who had swapped over to a civilian job with Uncle Sam. He had health problems, some of which were a result of service overseas - malaria, dengue fever, diabetes, and finally, a leprosy diagnosis from the VA. Dealing with all of that ain't easy, but the federal agency he worked at apparently thought it would be no big deal to stick him in a cubicle below a section of roof that had leaked - with black mold behind the furniture, on the cubicle walls, and under the carpet...
