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.
What is Toxic Black Mold? Molds are a division of fungi that grow on leather, carpets, cloth, wood, and on human foods when moisture increases with the right amount of light, temperature and nutrients for them to grow. Molds and mildews cause health risks, and the most common of these fungi is the âtoxic black moldâ.
