What is red mold and is it harmful?

I did an experiment, i am still working on it, but I started an experiment testing which kind of bread would start to process mold faster, white bread with no water on it, or white bread with a lot of water on it. What I did was I took 2 pieces of bread, put 1 in a bag, and put a tablespoon of water on the other, then put that one in another bag. On the 10th day, the bread with water on it grew normal, green mold, after the 13th day, I realized that there were a type of red mold on the bread. Red mold is a type of any mold, and given a different color, like, blue mold, green mold, or brown mold, exept, only created by adding alot of water to a kind of food that obsorbs it, in about 10-15 days, you find red mold. Red mold is not harmful, unless you eat it. Red mold could rub on your skin, and still not be infected, unless you were to rub the mold on a cut. When red mold is eaten with out being processed into something like cheese, the red mold will survive the stomach acid, and will cause pain in your bladder. The red mold will get caught in your bladder and will require surgery to get it out. Think of it this way, cheese is a form of mold, if you like to eat cheese, it is like you are saying you like to eat mold.

Mold Inspectors Provide Mold Solutions?

Mold is a microorganism that causes allergic reactions, such as red eyes, runny nose and a skin rash. In some cases it can cause debilitating health problems. Mold loves wet carpet, drywall, wood and ceiling tiles. You need a mold inspection if you are selling your home. It eliminates surprises and allows the buyer and seller to close the transaction with confidence. Qualified mold inspectors can inspect your property and assess whether that recently flooded basement or leaky roof is harboring mold.
