Can mold exposure kill me?

There are no documented deaths related to mold growth in a home. While there have been multiple infant deaths related to Stachybotrys, in all cases there were other environmental conditions that may or may not have contributed to the deaths. For most healthy individuals, mold related symptoms disappear when the mold is removed.Cryptococcus (yeast) and Histoplasma (yeast) are avian pathogens associated with bird and bat droppings that can cause severe illness or death. Both are fungi which can be found in your home or office, but neither are molds.
