accidental Neurospora inhalation
    #15701298 - 01/22/12 10:31 AM (12 years, 27 days ago)

Ok so today I birthed my first cake. When I opened the jar all seemed ok so I gave it a wiff to make sure I couldn't smell any bactirial infections. All seemed ok but upon removing it from the jar I noticed Neurospora mold that I couldn't see before removing the cake. To my knolage this is the mold that can cause meningitis. Will I be ok?? I am very worried about this!

are you totally positive it was Neurospora sp.?

first concern would be that of having released spores in a confined space as your house.

however don't worry too much about it because unless you inhaled a lot of spores, or are immunocompromised or it was something way nastier, you shouldn't face any serious health risk. always better to consult a physician though.

AFAIK members in the Neurospora genus are common bread molds and I've never heard of them causing meningites, let alone on a healthy individual.

what is known to be more serious is Aspergillus, which causes a series of medical conditions including what you've described, but again luckily it's not that lethal unless you get a lot of it or are in poor health conditions.

This is what it looks like. It was only a quick wiff so hopefuly I didn't inhale too much but I sprayed the whole room down first with a diluted solution of peroxide and water then next with 91 isopropal alch hopeing that that would help with the spores that were released.

I see, unfortunately I'm not expert enough to positively ID that, and am sure a microscope would be needed most of the times.

anyway, throw everything contaminated out, use bleach to clean glassware and ok on using peroxide to spray your rooms. hopefully it won't affect your future grows :smile:
