Anyone ever had health issues due to toxic black mold or stachybotrys in their home? Or do you know anyone who has? If so what were their symptoms, did they have to move out or have to throw away any belongings, was there a lawsuit, did their symptoms improve if they did move from the house, do you believe it can be deadly?

Toxic Africa-American mold is the preferred nomenclature

What in the world would give you the impression that toxic black mold could be deadly?

I applaud your correct use of the multiple and alternating there/their.
Don't know anything about toxic black mold. Sounds bad, though.

No but it's a tasty treat and great on salads. Don't let your kids have any. They're not old enough to appreciate it.

If you are allergic it is bad. Not sure about toxic to even people not allergic.

Yes, my daughter. Moved out of the house and threw out most fabric-related items that could not be cleaned. She had a lot of health issues,headaches, fatigue, brain fog, sinus/respiratory issues. After 1 1/2 years of living in a place that did not have toxic mold, she is much better.

CDC website for all the information on black mold you could possibly want.
LSUAg website that should give more specific info pertaining to Louisiana and the species you should find here if thats where you are located.
Better read there than ask anyone on tigerdroppings when it comes to you or your family's health.
Dont screw around with it if you have it. Take proper precautions, especially around children, elderly, and those with prior lung disease.
EDIT: Short answer, its Dangerous, especially for high risk individuals. Thats the medical side. For the legality of what you asked, might want to consult a lawyer friend.

How ironic. Just watched a forensic files episode yesterday about a couple in Austin who had black mold in their home. Wound up having to demolish the house, sued insurance company and won $32M

Yes and it's more common than you think. In Louisiana it doesn't have to be disclosed when home is sold either.
Friend of mine had toxic levels, took months to figure out why their kid was constantly sick, having blood shot eyes, would even faint at times. House was professionally treated and they've sold it, cut their losses and moved on. This was in SE Louisiana. Can't confirm because my construction knowledge is limited, but they seem to think it was a result of a negligent contractor, something wasn't done right in regards to the slab and the immediate steps afterwords. Get mold remedy professionally done and get out. You'll never feel right in the place. Good luck.

Clean everything with bleach. Clothes,blankets etc.
Black Mold spores will be evywhere. Symptoms will basically will think your Allergies are acting up. "lots of drainage in the Sinuses and shite"

Not in my home, but I took care of a patient in home health who was affected pretty badly.

Rule 1 - get rid of water source
Rule 2 - get rid of mold contaminated materials
Active mold generates spores and emits low level VOCs. Most are not adversely affected by it. Some are though and immunocompromised and children can be as well. Dead mold if not removed can be an allergen.
Also, stochybotrys growth can be black or another color. The color depends on the substrate it feeds off of.
