Ran across this in a new story about allergies. It surprised me.
Myth 3: Black mold can cause some truly terrifying diseases.
Google “black mold” and you’ll find websites linking it to some frightening maladies – things like seizures, fibromyalgia, bipolar disorder, cancer.
“This has been attributed to cause all kinds of ailments,” Stukus says. “But there is absolutely no scientific link of a causal disorder to black mold to any of these disorders.”
But the most black mold can do to you is cause allergic rhinitis and asthma symptoms — if, that is, you're allergic to mold in the first place.
 
Just looked at an article and said they're over 60 species of black mold. They're called that because their color is black, otherwise we'd probably call them white mold.
When was it, in the '80s when people were burning brand new homes down because black mold was discovered in them?
