Mold and fungus are more than just household nuisances — they may pose serious health risks, including contributing to cancer development. While not all mold exposure leads to disease, particular species produce mycotoxins, toxic compounds that have been linked to liver, kidney, and esophageal cancers. This Prevail Over Cancer blog post examines the science behind mold-related health risks, provides guidance on testing your environment and body, and offers actionable strategies to minimize exposure.
