I don't believe so, in fact many antibiotics are made from fungus.
but to be completely safe you can just google trich and health

No, if you've ever had an orange you've eaten trich.

It can make you a little sick, but it's not lethal. I've eaten moldy bread with trich on accident before and just got sort of a stomach ache.

A few antibiotics are derived from a few species of the many many thousands of kinds of fungus. This does not mean "mold is good for you". And no species of fungus you will encounter has unknown properties, they've all been examined for antibiotic activity decades ago.

To parrot everyone else, allegedly it's not a health concern, but don't forget that if it's green, it's sporulating, and if it's in your house it can make it a lot harder to grow in future without contaminating due to spores being released into the environment.
If you're trying to fruit a contaminated jar, do it outside, in a shed or whatever, so you don't find your grows contaminating easily in the future.

Trichoderma doesn't grow on oranges, nor does it grow on bread.
To answer the OP, unless your immune system is compromised, trich isn't harmful. People with AIDS have been found to have trich growing in their lungs.
Many people develop allergies to fungal spores that they're exposed to a lot. For example, I can no longer grow oyster mushrooms indoors because the spores are enough to send me into shock. Always dispose of contaminated substrates on first sight. RR

Anyone who thinks that molds are only a nuisance but no harm is invited to live in a house infested with black mold (Aspergillus niger) for a while and see how well that is treating your pulmonary system and overall health. Sure, green mold (Trichoderma viride) is basically omnipresent, but it's always a matter of concentration and how healthy your immune system is. If you are really interested in learning more on the subject, read up on mycotoxins and aflatoxins in particular, which are produced by many species of molds, most notably Aspergillus sp. Aflatoxins are among the most carcinogenic substances known to man.
