(These fungi are called fruiting bodies). • Skin contact from handling or rubbing an object with mold on it. • Swallowing, and/or eating. • Neglecting to do something about mold whether it is seen or unseen. Molds feeds off water, moisture, dampness, food source, and amiable temperatures. Mold symptoms: Molds have the potential to cause health problems such as mold allergy and even make a home become uninhabitable.
