I just wish someone told me this before, it made me & my husband so ill we had to call environmental health to do something about it.

As little as 24 to 48 hours. So clean up spills, remove moisture, and ventilate the area. Not all molds are harmful to human beings, and you can have a sample tested to identify the exact species of mold but it's expensive to do so. Even if it's not a toxic mold, some people have allergies or already have respiratory problems which can be exacerbated by inhaling mold spores.
