Did he inhale black mold?

Question: My boyfriend found some mold in his car, and he isn't sure if he inhaled it or not. I told him to see his doctor about it, is there another way to see if he's sick from it? (This just happen recently). Thanks!

Answer: If he uses his car much, he probably inhaled some of it. Not all molds cause reactions in humans, so it may have done nothing. Allergic reactions to mold are likely to be respiratory (stuffy nose, coughing, and shortness of breath). Some people might get hives. Either way, it's noticeable. Having said that, there are a great variety of molds, and many of them are black. It would be wise to have the molds killed if he's going to share a space with them.
