Mold - “Stachybotrys,” “Penicillium,” “Aspergillus,”
The list of mold varieties goes on and on and on and the individual colors can be black, gray, white, brown and just about every other color of the rainbow. Not all of them are common in central Ohio. Not all of them are dangerous. Some are harmless and even nutritious for human consumption, others are allergenic and will make you sneeze and wheeze, still others can make you ill and have long term effects. Some of the more dangerous species of mold, even found locally, can produce toxins that have been used in the manufacture of chemical weapons.
