Answer:
Mold is pervasive. There are more than
100,000 species of mold in our ecosystem.
However, only approximately 100 different
species of mold are linked to causing a human
illness, disease or reaction. Recent lawsuits
tend to focus on three types of mold, with
stachybotrys the most widely recognized “toxic”
mold. In short, mold is everywhere.
Unfortunately, media reports about toxic
waste tend to be alarmist. This lack of balance
is particularly exaggerated on internet sites
targeted to potential claimants. Generally, the
continuing legal education available focuses
heavily on legitimizing the claim of toxic mold.
