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.
In particularly severe cases of prolonged exposure, black mold health effects can be more dangerous. Often compounded by allergic reaction to the black mold spores, these symptoms can include nausea, vomiting, and bleeding in the lungs and nose. Toxic black mold can be costly to remove, and black mold exposure and black mold poisoning can cause a wide range of health problems, some of them severe. Understanding black mold symptoms and health effects can help you and your family identify these indicators and take swift action to protect your health and your home.
