Mold affecting Crohn's?

I do admit to bring a fairly messy person but I am fairly organized and I am who I am, even though it may drive my bf and mother crazy!:)

I cleaned out my car for spring cleaning and looked underneath the car seats on the floor and under 3 of them, 2 specifically, there was a great growth of mold there hidden underneath and I have not looked underneath there for at least a year. The mod is green and white and really disgusted and scared me.

I have been having symptoms of a flare since December, the worst being the extreme extreme fatigue, and am curious as whether the mold could be causing this instead of crohns ( although have all the crohns flare up signs) or if the mod could have exasperated and caused a flare up?

I have no experience with mold, just the realization and knowledge it can make you sick so am wondering if spending 5 hours a week in the mold for at least 6-12 months can make me more sick. Am just wondering if this effected/effecting my crohns at all( I am getting my car detailed this week thank god!)
