Black mold in the shower or shower mold is considered non toxic but even the non toxic black shower mold can make you sick.

If you suffer from other respiratory issues then the black mold can make you even more sick.

All types of mold including the black mold in showers can make people sick and cause things such as rashes, headaches, dizziness, nausea, allergies, asthma attacks, and serious lung infections.

If you have black mold in your shower you need to get rid of it before it causes any serious health issues and the black mold doesn't look very good either.

To get rid of black mold in your shower you can use some distilled white vinegar and put it in a spray bottle and spray the black mold with the vinegar and let it sit.

The vinegar will kill the mold in the shower.

After the vinegar sits on the mold for a few minutes you can then scrub the mold in the shower with a brush or sponge and rinse the vinegar away with hot water.

If you have black shower mold that is more stubborn to come off you can mix 1 part bleach to 10 parts water and transfer the solution to a spray bottle and spray the black mold with the solution.

Then just scrub it like you would with the vinegar.
