A small number of molds produce toxins called mycotoxins.
When people are exposed to high levels of mold mycotoxins
they may suffer toxic effects, including fatigue, nausea,
headaches, and irritation to the lungs and eyes. If you or
your family members have health problems that you suspect are
caused by exposure to mold, you should consult with your
physician.

Wow! State of Washington. A little different from:

“Based on the studies that you have done, the literature that
you have discussed, and your experience and training, have
you formed an opinion based on reasonable scientific
probability or certainty as to whether or not there was
enough mycotoxin in the home to have caused any illness to
Mrs. Haynes, Michael Haynes, or Liam Haynes?' Kelman’s answer
was 'Yes.' The attorney went on: 'And, what is that opinion,
doctor?' Kelman answered, 'THERE COULD NOT BE. I mean, the
differences between the maximum dose that we could come up
with and the level at which we see effects for a broad range
of mycotoxins is just too great.”
