Mold- precautions?

[Tmac02892]

I explored Fort Getty a few day ago, and the next day I felt like I had a cold.  It only lasted a day, but I wonder if it could be from the mold.  Anyone encountered the stuff before, and how dangerous is it?  I helped restore an old church in North Kingstown, and the basement was full of black, white, and green mold.  We wore heavy duty dusk masks and I never got sick.  Please, post your experiences.

Getty has a unique smell, there is also virtually no airflow, we have come across our fair share of mold

Same thing happened to me at Ladd last week.  I couldnt breath for a week.  I would definetly recomend wearing one of those painters masks at least.  That is some serious asbestos and mold in these places.

Not so much mold, but asbestos.  I got really sick from photographing a large mill fire & subsequent cleanup back in 2005, a lot of asbestos involved with that one.  Face masks are a must for attics and basements when you don't know what's down there.
