I'm tearing out our shower for the 2nd time and there's some mold on the drywall. It's black in color. I wore a mask most of the time but i'm sure I'm inhaling quite a bit of the stuff. How worried should I be?

Be careful some types of molds are toxic. And I'm pretty sure black is the most toxic but I'm not sure... well as long as you had a mask on you should be ok.

Well the spores can attatch thierselves to the membranes in your nasel passagesand can grow. Also bread you shouldnt smell to see if it is fresh. Yeast mold spores are deadly also. These things are a bacteria, bacteria grows and inside our bodies it just doesnt jive. There have been many people that have died from this. If you use say a boxed baking mix that is old you could have a severe alergic reaction to this also.

Watch yourself for a fever. You could get a sinus infection or lung infection.
