Time for a TUMS. You guessed it, TUMS is made in St. Louis. Or how about a cold beverage: Fitzâs Root Beer, located in The Loop, uses a vintage 1940âs bottling line that turns out a bottle a second. Thereâs also Vess Soda, Thomas Coffee, Ronnoco, Schlafly, and Kraftig, all from STL.
Two of the better-known toxic molds include Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), which can cause everything from headaches to cancer, and Aspergillus, which can cause severe lung infections, or progress to whole-body infections. Mold is particularly dangerous for infants and children.
Toxic black mold is the most harmful kind of household mold. 1  Alternaria grows on walls, in showers, around windows, under sinks and in various other damp places. It is often found in buildings that have suffered some kind of water damage. 2  Aspergillus is the most common type of mold found indoors.
