How Does Exposure To Black Mold Affect The Health?

what are the short term and long term symptoms of black mold exposure. Went to a friends house earlier today and after about an hour I had to leave (walked home) because my head was fuzzy. It cleared after about an hour and a half. My friend (62) and her son (39) have been off and on ill for the last 4 to 5 months. She seems to constantly have the flu and he, who is asthmatic. has been admitted to the hospital twice in the last couple of weeks for severe attacks.
