According to floridahealth.gov, Stachybotrys chartarum is a toxic type of black mold that releases mycotoxins when there is an elevated amount of moisture inside the home.
Injuries
Certain factors, such as temperature, pH, and humidity, play a role in whether this type of toxic mold, expand or contracts. When this mold is present in the home, injuries, such as, “cold-like symptoms, rashes, sinus inflammation, eye irritation and aggravation of asthma . . . and more general – such as inability to concentrate or fatigue,” become apparent to the residential homeowner or renter.

These living conditions include meeting, the basic structural and healthy inspections that are required of owning a property in the state of Florida.
