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!

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.

From that exact same page:

>Some people are sensitive to molds. For these people, exposure to molds can lead to symptoms such as stuffy nose, wheezing, and red or itchy eyes, or skin. Some people, such as those with allergies to molds or with asthma, may have more intense reactions. Severe reactions may occur among workers exposed to large amounts of molds in occupational settings, such as farmers working around moldy hay. Severe reactions may include fever and shortness of breath.

>In 2004 the Institute of Medicine (IOM) found there was sufficient evidence to link indoor exposure to mold with upper respiratory tract symptoms, cough, and wheeze in otherwise healthy people; with asthma symptoms in people with asthma; and with hypersensitivity pneumonitis in individuals susceptible to that immune-mediated condition.

>In 2009, the World Health Organization issued additional guidance, the WHO Guidelines for Indoor Air Quality: Dampness and Mould. Other recent studies have suggested a potential link of early mold exposure to development of asthma in some children, particularly among children who may be genetically susceptible to asthma development, and that selected interventions that improve housing conditions can reduce morbidity from asthma and respiratory allergies.

Thanks for proving me right. I appreciate it.

You were doing fine until you said mold isn't going to hurt you.

If you think "toxic mold is nonsense", then check out Stachybotris atra, Stachybotris chartarum, and others:

I moved into my own flat a few years ago and discovered the principle of Stoßlüften completely independently! When it's windy, I absolutely open the windows and doors for a few minutes, cold or not, just to change the air.

One of these days someone is going to shoot down one of those intruding aircraft we keep hearing about, and I'm not going to blame them.

I'd love to see that scenario captured in a Gary Larson cartoon.

"Ugg! What doing with tarragon?! It clearly rosemary that go with unidentified rodent!"

Classic Brittany.

That is just genius.
