Mold Toxicity (CIRS)
The label Mold Toxicity (CIRS) is used for a contested set of symptoms attributed to damp-building or mold exposure. Well-supported effects of damp or moldy environments include allergic or irritant respiratory symptoms and asthma exacerbation. Broader systemic claims about cellular damage, immune dysfunction, brain fog, mycotoxin accumulation, or CIRS remain debated and are not established by this page; these symptoms are nonspecific and need clinical evaluation.
