Are some types of mold more hazardous than others?

Some types of mold can produce “mycotoxins,” which are referred to as “toxic mold.” There are very few reports that “toxic mold” inside the home causes rare health conditions, but it is possible. Important to note, however, is that if you think you have a mold problem in your home, you do not need to know what type of mold you have. 

It’s a common misconception and an FAQ about mold remediation that people think they need to know the mold type to get rid of it. All types of mold should be treated the same way when it comes to health risks and mold removal. All indoor mold growth should be removed promptly, regardless of the type or whether or not it can produce mycotoxins.
