â Risk of trauma: High risk of accidental injury to tissue (wound, burn, fracture â¦). â Risk of aspiration [suction]: Risk of inhaling gastric secretions and / or oropharyngeal, solids or liquids into the trachea and bronchi (because of a malfunction or absence of normal protective mechanisms).
Allergies and Asthma. Breathing in too much mold or mildew can cause allergies. In severe cases, it can also contribute to the development of asthma. These conditions can cause watery and itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, nausea, fatigue, headaches and trouble breathing. Asthma or prior allergies before exposure can make these symptoms worse.
Toxic Effects. Very large doses of certain molds, when inhaled or ingested, can result in poisoning caused by toxins, called mycotoxins, in the mold cells. The evidence on whether an individual can inhale enough toxins from inhaling spores or fragments from indoor mold growth is inconclusive or unavailable.
