THE BASICS OF SORTING YOUR CONTENTS
Mould spores and hyphae (roots) will fragment into hundreds of toxic particles when killed. When inhaled these ultrafine and nano particles, and the toxins residing on them, trigger the innate immune system which sees them as Pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMPs) (Berndtson, 2016. Biotoxin Pathway 2.0). Killing mould spores could also make them produce more mycotoxins and other defense mechanisms such as microbial VOCs as they die.
