Can mold kill u?


My husband has been cleaning our basement for two days now. Once he started getting deep into some boxes we had stored he noticed that they were molded and so was the walls. Well today his stomach is tore up and in has a bad headache and a fever also says his sinuses are bothering him.......Im scared cause Ive always heard that mold can kill you and that the symptions to mold are just like the common cold and thats what he has........If there is anyone who knows anything about mold please help ease my mind, cause he thinks hes fine (he thinks its just his sinuses bothering him) and does not want to go to the ER...........No smart comments please!!!

The mold itself wont but it can trigger allergic

It probably depends on how large the mold is and how long it was there.

There are very deadly molds out there and especially on trees outside and have seen a 23yr old dies of this years ago. Molds can cause life threatening allergies and to be honest with you if you think he is having a problem related to a mold.....get him to a dr. or hospital!

FYES IT CAN! wear a face mask,i have mold in my house and i'm always cleaning with bleach...it can also get in your nose and cause a person to have to have their face removed!i saw the man on the news and on OPRAH..I COULD'NT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT.he was also on MAURY,when he did a show about disfigured people.a mold spore got in his sinus cavaty and dsctors had to remove his enire face he was speaking thru a mic.in his neck.i hate mold,unfortunately all we can do is keep using bleach,and please people use a surgical mask from the pharmacy or drugstore.
