Touching mold with bare hands will release mold spores into the air that can cause you to get mold sickness symptoms, such as a runny nose, red or itchy eyes, or a headache. See a much more extensive list of possible mold sickness symptoms here. Those with sensitive skin may also experience skin irritation or a rash from direct contact with mold. Aloe very or an oatmeal soak can help with such skin irritation.
