Generally no, however there are exceptions. For someone that has a compromised immune system or other pre-existing health concerns, there is a higher likelihood of contracting an infection from the mold. Additionally, the microbial volatile organic compounds (mVOCs) released during mold's metabolic processes and the mycotoxins released in defense or to out compete other molds can cause headaches, fatigue, respiratory and eye irritations. Finally, Allergies towards mold or the spores they release would cause ill effects.
