Allergies and Asthma. Breathing in too much mold or mildew can cause allergies. In severe cases, it can also contribute to the development of asthma. These conditions can cause watery and itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, nausea, fatigue, headaches and trouble breathing. Asthma or prior allergies before exposure can make these symptoms worse.
Black mold produces toxins called mycotoxins that can irritate the skin and air passages following exposure, notes MedicineNet. Severe reactions, such as difficulty breathing, may also develop, although this is uncommon. Allergic reactions, such as sneezing, tearing, coughing and wheezing, are the most common bodily effects related to mold exposure.
