Mould is a silent killer. You could get sick from breathing the air with mould in it. Wheezing, congestion, and irritation in the throat, ears or nose are common symptoms of being in air aircon with mould in it.

It can affect your respiratory system and worsen your health. Mould produces mycotoxins, a toxic compound that can cause serious health issues like pneumonia and bleeding in the lungs.
