Aspergillosis
You might not be familiar with aspergillosis, but the infection caused by mold takes a hit to the respiratory system, causing an allergic reaction or lung infections. According to the AARP, symptoms like coughing, fever, chest pain, chills, headache, and shortness of breath can often fool doctors into thinking it’s a case of asthma, tuberculosis, or acute respiratory distress, but it can become severe and fatal if it spreads to other parts of the body due to a weakened immune system.
