Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. You should be worried but not too much. Mold releases toxins , which cause protein synthesis inhibition, neurotoxicity (brain toxicity), cytotoxicity (cell toxicity), & immune toxicity (immune cell depression & damage).It may lead to intestinal, neurological, central nervous system, pulmonary, soft tissue, bone, and other system destruction.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
