Is mould dangerous?

    Hi,

    So I recently de-constructed a built-in wardrobe which had been in my house since it was built some 15 years ago. As you might expect there was a multitude of dust - as well as some discolored mould - which emerged on the floor and behind it upon taking it apart.

    I'm quite health-conscious, but I am in no way DIY-savvy so do I need to worry about this mould? I have since washed away the vast majority of it using a scarf to cover my nose and mouth - but am I in danger?

    Cheers, lads.

    It can be. There were a lot of claims in the US from toxic mould. As far as I know there hasn't been the same problems over here.

    I bleached the jesus out of the floor, which should cleanse the surface of any potentially dangerous substances. I also Googled pictures of 'toxic mould' and thankfully my situation looks nothing like the household atrocities I witnessed.

    Having taken the unit away, though, I notice the room could do with a couple hundred licks of paint.
