0:00.0	Mold spores are 2 to 4 microns thick. When you're walking around a moldy room, you're breathing
0:07.0	in those spores, and they reach the deepest part of your lungs, go right through into the
0:12.1	alveoli, and transfer directly into the blood. And what do they carry with them? They carry a
0:17.7	mycotoxin, and sometimes several mycotoxins. Mycotctions are 0.1 microns.
0:24.2	And the first place they attack is the brain. And that's why people get fatigued, sleep,

1:39.3	But there's only a few, a couple dozen, that affect human beings. And like you said, they're on trees and bushes
1:47.8	and shrubs, but those don't affect us. Neither do their spores. What affects us is when we
1:57.4	have it growing indoors, because indoors is how many square feet. Well, it's pretty finite. It
2:04.2	could be 1,500, 2,000, 3,000, whatever. How many square feet is outdoors? Well, that's a whole other question.
