My car has an unfixable leak (I've tried) in its seals, and when it rains, moisture enters inside. Mold has been growing in there for about 1 1/2 years, and I can smell it. (Pretty sure it's worsening.) Is this really bad? Should I consider this a health emergency & get rid of it immediately?
(Don't know if it's related, but I have actually had bronchitis for several weeks.)
Thanks.

Sorry, I should have specified -- The mold is not removeable; Should I get rid of the *car* immediately?

Yes get rid of it. I am scred of mold. It can cause a lot of damage to your health. You are in a secluded area inhaling the fumes.
When molds are inhaled they are filtered out at various stages of the respiratory system. The point at which the molds begin to accumulate, or colonize, is considered the site of toxicity. The sites of toxicity are the exact locations within the body, which experience the physiologic side effects of the mycotoxins produced by the molds invading the area. Some molds cause sensitization in the upper respiratory system. Others pass through the respiratory system and enter the bloodstream, potentially sensitizing internal organs. Following are brief discussions on diseases caused by inhalation of molds.

You might want to get somebody to fix it then clean it out really good.⥠Otherwise it might be a good idea to let it go⥠Mold can cause many health problems and some can be life threateningâ¥
