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.
The most common black mold symptoms and health effects are associated with a respiratory response. Chronic coughing and sneezing, irritation to the eyes, mucus membranes of the nose and throat, rashes, chronic fatigue and persistent headaches can all be symptomatic of black mold exposure or black mold poisoning.
