Stachybotrys Toxic Black Mold
Pictures & Photographs

     Below are Stachhybotrys toxic black mold pictures and photographs. To get rid of black mold growth infestations, please read the do-it-yourself mold removal and remediation procedures explained in detail at Mold Remediation. Buy mold inspection, mold testing, mold remediation, and mold prevent books and products at the Mold Mart.

     

     Several types of Stachybotrys [nickname: Stachy] produce spores with poisonous toxins. Long-term, and sometimes even short-term, exposure to Stachybotrys black toxic mold has caused cold and flu symptoms, fatigue, diarrhea, headaches, sore throat, hair loss, immune system suppression, memory loss, and severe brain damage.  
      

    Whereas almost all mold spores can begin growing after just 24 hours of wetness, Stachybotrys mold spores take at least 48 hours of wetness to begin growth. Stachybotrys survives and grows best in a continually wet environment like a slow water leak in a wall.
      

   Stachybotrys spores are not often airborne. Only if Stachy is physically jarred or disturbed does Stachybotrys show up in mold air sampling testing. Stachybotrys black toxic mold is best detected by a careful physical examination of a building, and Stachy mold is usually identified by direct swabs or lift tape  or bulk samples of the mold itself with laboratory analysis.
