Mycotoxins cause by Toxic Black Mold (Stachybotryschartarum) - WHAT IS IT?


So, you have read about the previous post regarding Black Mold. Now, we know that Toxic Black Mold produces harmful toxins – MYCOTOXINS, or Trichothecenemycotoxins.

Toxic Black Mold does not grow as quickly or easily as most other molds. It needs a suitable material to be very wet for at least a week before it can start to grow. It takes 8 to 12 days to colonize. 

Ought to know about MYCOTOXINS

Mycotoxins are carried on the spores of toxic black mold and are also found throughout the entire mold colony. People with toxic black mold in their homes are mostly exposed to mycotoxins through inhaling them in.  This leads to toxic symptoms and health problems.

Trichothecenemycotoxins are one of the most toxic and stable mycotoxins. It can take up to several years to break down and the possibility to remove it from houses is very low.
