Toxic Molds are well known to cause respiratory ailments...
Several recent epidemiological studies reported positive associations between home dampness and respiratory morbidity of occupants… Homes classified as damp tend to have higher levels of fungi than those not so classified…Fungi are well known as sources for allergens that cause allergic rhinitis, allergic asthma, and extrinsic allergic alveolitis (hypersensitivity pneumonitis)."
Verhoff, A. and H. Burge, June 1997. Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology 78: 544-554.

And may be related to other ailments...
A wide variety of symptoms have been attributed to the toxic effects of fungi. Symptoms, such as fatigue, nausea, and headaches, and respiratory and eye irritation have been reported. Some of the symptoms related to fungal exposure are non-specific, such as discomfort, inability to concentrate, and fatigue. New York City Department of Health Bureau of Environmental & Occupational Disease Epidemiology, 1999. Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments.

“Diagnosis of fungal disease should be based on exposure history, medical history and clinical findings. The prognosis appears good provided the exposure can be stopped.”
Eckardt Johanning, MD, 1999
