Mold...
About 10 years ago I was working for a contractor doing siding repairs / remodeling. Contractor got a remodel job where a deceased professor had lived. The home was built in the 70’s. The professor never did any improvements or upkeep on the place. The home was full of mold. A specialized contractor came in to remove the mold as we could not touch it. I asked one of the mold workers how dangerous was mold. He laughed and said there was more mold in Blue Cheese salad dressing. Also said if your immune system is good, you have nothing to worry about.

I think mold danger is pretty much B.S. But it might be like desert fever for some susceptible people.
