Apparently, you need to learn what "toxic" means.

No, I clearly don't, but you need to learn what "toxigenic" means.

Here, let me help you out:

toxigenic: producing a toxin or toxic effect

That PERFECTLY describes the effect of harmful molds. Thanks for your time, you've been a very determined learner.

So is dog dander that gives me asthma "toxic"? How about dust? That gives me nasal symptoms. How about tree pollen that makes me sneeze?

Then your response to dog dander and pollen sound allergenic rather than toxigenic per se.

Exposure to dust can likewise cause blockage, irritation, and problems with abrasion not related to actual toxicity.

Hope this helps you out!

Right. And the CDC text you quoted says molds can produce allergic effects. Toxic effects have never been proven.
