Aspergillus is a type of mold that is commonly found in soil, food, plants, and other organic material. In the environment, Aspergillus is found in areas with high humidity and moisture, such as bathrooms, basements, and other damp places. Aspergillus can also be found in air ducts and ventilation systems, as well as in carpets and furniture.

Food Sources

Aspergillus is commonly found in food sources such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and legumes. It can also be found in processed foods such as canned goods, dried fruits, and condiments. Aspergillus is also found in spices, coffee, tea, and chocolate.

Plant Sources

Aspergillus is commonly found on the surface of plants, in the soil, and in plant debris. It can also be found in stored grains, such as wheat and rice, as well as in hay and straw.

Health Risks

Aspergillus can cause health problems if it is not properly controlled. People with weakened immune systems, such as people with HIV/AIDS, are at a higher risk of developing more serious illnesses from exposure to Aspergillus. People with allergies or asthma may also be more sensitive to the mold. If left untreated, Aspergillus can lead to pneumonia, eye infections, and other illnesses.
