yes Well...that is a bit simple on the answer. The real answer is...it depends. As a general rule, mold will usually not kill you unless you have a severely weakened or destroyed immune system. Fungal infections are very common (athletes foot is a fungal infection). Mold CAN make you sick however. Your sensitivity to mold will vary depending on age, overall sensitivity to mold allergens and the type of mold involved. Symptoms can range from sinus irritation to general allergy symptoms to severe reactions.
