Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Molds are common, however there is no growing evidence that these are linked to many health related issues. Most common here are related to lungs like asthma, difficulty in breathing, cough and many more. Sometimes they can cause serious infections of the lungs. Besides this skin allergies, and skin infection are also not uncommon. Can also cause many other diseases. These diseases are mostly caused by the allergy to these molds.
However, this cannot be said as who will suffer and how much. As some people may suffer with little exposure other may not but it's association with health problems cannot be ruled out. If she feels any allergy I think she should immediately report and avoid exposure.
Ways to reduced molds include cleaning and drying of the area.
