In most cases, a small amount of mold will not cause any illness and might actually be good for your digestive tract. Mold after all is what yogurt and many other daily foods is the building block for. However, in some cases mold may be harmful depending on the type of bold, bacteria or fungus is associated with. This can all be dependent upon what type of food or substance the mold is growing on, how and where the substance was stored and possibly even a few other factors. If you have the means to extra lettuce, throw out the moldy lettuce however there is only an extremely small chance that anything would come out of consuming moldy lettuce. It most likely will not be a pleasure to eat as a side note.
