Certain types of molds will produce poisonous toxins known in mold terminology as mycotoxins. Specific tolerance to mycotoxins varies from person to person. Not all molds produce mycotoxins all the time, and attempting to remove mold by spraying a mildewcide or fungicide will not remove or inactivate the mycotoxins that have already been produced. An adverse reaction can still occur from dead mold or mold spores. In fact, mold spores do not have to be alive to be dangerous to humans and animals. Dead and dormant mold can be just as toxic.
