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 can cause health problems and damage to homes, but understanding how to prevent, identify and eradicate black mold will give you the tools to keep your home free of this toxic species of mold.
