Aspergillus carneus is found to be
allergenic and has also been reported as an opportunistic
pathogen. This means it can cause serious health effects
in persons who have suppressed immune systems, especially
if frequently exposed to this mold. This species was
involved in a pulmonary infection in man, a disseminating
apergillosis in a dog, and an experimental pathogenicity
test done in mice proved that it can produce infectious
disease in an organism. Despite its health hazards,
however, healthy people can actually resist the infection
that may possibly be induced by this mold.
