If the mold spores releases toxins that will enter the blood brain barrier, it will eventually cause symptoms such as muscle spasms and seizures.

The short answer is a qualified "yes". My late immunologist, Vincent Marinkovich, M.D. Was a recognized expert on mold allergies or hypersensitivities. He treated me for allergies and mold hypersensitivity.

If a person has a severe mold hypersensitivity, some mold toxins can sometimes cross the blood brain barrier and cause problems including muscle spasms, brain fog and seizures. I have gran mal seizures every time I am around damp yard vegetation or hay for a prolonged period. I also have seizures if I spend any time in my rental storage space during the rainy season.

I have learned the hard way to avoid situations like this. It is not always easy to avoid exposure to environmental mold.

Check with your allergist. There is a lot of literature out discussing toxic mold and it's effect on the brain.
