Mycotoxins, secondary metabolites produced by molds, pose significant health risks to humans, ranging from allergic reactions to severe, life-threatening conditions. These substances are not essential for mold survival but are by-products of the competitive battles molds wage against each other and bacteria for ecological dominance. 

While some molds produce beneficial antibiotics, others generate cytotoxic mycotoxins that disrupt cellular functions and structures, including membranes, and interfere with vital processes like protein, RNA, and DNA synthesis. Mycotoxins' indiscriminate nature means humans and higher organisms can suffer from their presence, often without direct targeting by the molds.

Understanding the specific mycotoxins and their mold producers is vital for assessing and mitigating exposure risks, especially in indoor environments prone to moisture and mold growth.
