the actual scary black mold is very very very very rare.
It took half of my younger brother's right lung in 2013. They thought he had non- Hodgkin's lymphoma until they biopsied the mass and found clumps of it in his lower lung.
He put river rocks from the upper Mississippi (where the mold is most often found) in his yard. He thinks he inhaled the spores when he accidentally drove over one of the rocks with his lawn mower and chipped off part of the surface.
The antifungal it took to kill what was left in his lungs almost destroyed his kidneys.
