Yes they can be! They can cause some horrid allergic reactions and give some people respiratory trouble. I have problems with the stuff....

If it hits the floor its got crap on it. the longer there the more crap. I will occasionally use the 5 second rule, but still do a visual, since I'm not very fond of hair, feces, or other "dirts". There are a lot of stuff that you can't see. If you're not going to eat it right away throw it away. Bacteria grows pretty fast at room temperature.

You are more exposed to transmittable germs.  It's better to clean it regularly.

You have a bad problem that has to be corrected. Yes you can get very sick when the mold ends up in your lungs. If you rent go right to the landloard and put in a written complaint and call the health department. If it is your own home you need to get a contractor to replace some walls before it gets out of control. \n\nPlease add your age to the end of questions so we know better how to answer your question..

These cells are called 'spores'.

Some molds are dangerous because they cause allergic reactions and respiratory problems in susceptible people. Some molds also produce mycotoxins that are poisonous substances that can make people sick. When a food looks moldy, the mold spores have already invaded deeply into the product. Mycotoxins are most often contained in and around these spores, but may also spread throughout the food.\n\n\nAflatoxin is a cancer-causing poison produced by certain fungi in or on foods and feeds, especially in field corn and peanuts. They are probably the best known and most intensively researched mycotoxins in the world. Aflatoxins have been associated with various diseases, such as aflatoxicosis in livestock, domestic animals, and humans throughout the world. Many countries try to limit exposure to aflatoxin by regulating and monitoring its presence on commodities intended for use as food and feed. The prevention of aflatoxin is one of the most challenging toxicology issues of present  times.\n\nEven though penicillin is developed from molds.  Molds which produce toxins can make you sick.

From my experience, I lived in a mouldy apartment last year. I experienced on-going sinus and alergy problems. This totally affected my life. My clothes also began to get mouldy too, so when I wore those clothes even after I'd moved out of the apartment, I had to excuse myself from work, so I could go home and change because the effect of the mould on my eyes and   throat and nose was so bad. I literally couldnt do my job because of it. Hope this experience helps.

How fresh is fresh?  If the stains are totally dried, they should be 'safe.'  But if they are still moist, there is a risk if it gets into an open wound.  Sexual contact and exposure to blood are the only two documented ways to transmit the disease.  For a more lengthy discussion, visit the link.

Let us not forget irradiation. exposure to cesium kills all microbes in the food after it is hermetically sealed it will last indefinately at room temperature. I am not pro or con on this, just thought I would mention it.

Depends on what the source of the mold is.  If it is just common mildew then no.  It is your responsibility to keep your bathroom clean.  If it is a serious mold problem, then alcohol will kill it.  If you just want to get out of your lease, work out a deal with your land lord.  Don't be shady.

well...technically, i doubt whether mold itself will burn as it is moist, living tissue and is devoid of xylem and sclerenchyma (the tissue that we know as wood)\n why dont you try it yourself. but please be careful handling mold as inhaling the spores can be quite dangerous

Probably none. You don't get diseases from houses, only from the people inside them, and you could get anything contagious from them. In a really nasty house, you have to worry about rotting dead things, mold, carbon monoxide and pollutants such as lead and asbestos. But pure raunchy messiness is not in itself harmful.

It's not likely that any type of mold or mildew, in and of itself, could cause lymphoma.  However, if you're deficient in antioxidants, nutrients and sufficient, clean water, over time your immune system will become compromised and you can become much more sensitive to things such as mold or mildew which may trigger illnesses your body doesn't have the resources to fight.  Perhaps lymphoma could be one of them.

It is disgusting, but from a biological standpoint, as long as you aren't running your hands through the stuff, your chances of getting a serious illness are very low, however if the mice are deermice, I would be concerned about hauntavirus (very deadly), for cleanup, I would recomend bleach/water mix (Bleach is one of the few cleaners that truly kills most bacteria, and viri), plus wear gloves and a dust mask.
