"Personally, under the circumstances you describe, I'd trash everything that is even suspect, because mold can spread." I just saw this post and thought I would put in my 2 cents-worth... You probably already know this, but...if you decide to throw anything away, make sure you document what was thrown away and why you tossed it. Also, if you made photocopies of the items you are trashing, wipe up the photocopy machine with an approved cleaning agent so that you do not transfer mold to clean items. Hope this helps!

In addition, some mold is pretty toxic and some people are especially susceptible to it, so you may be letting yourself open to a lawsuit or ten. Your attorneys will love that news!
