From what I've read, the "Toxic" black mold had spores that are harmful
even
if dead. Also, the information I have looked up on mold says it is
everywhere but needs moisture to live and grow. From my understanding if
you have a mold problem it's just a symptom of a moisture problem, the
root
cause. Tearing out the flooring in my bedroom will give me access to bad
floor joists that need replaced and will also give me easier access to
the
crawl space for putting down a moisture barrier, sealing vents, and
installing a sump pump and dehumidifier.


If you will take the floor out it's easier to remove the mold, but still
people are exposed to dead mold all the time and are none the worse for
it. But solving the underlying moisture problem is essential for sure.

I agree, I think it has to do with the amount you get, too much at once and
it can make you sick. Anyway, we'll need the respirators while blasting but
once the dust settles down and we get the baking soda & blasted mold picked
up I don't think we'll need the respirators as much.
