Reminder that, per Wikipedia, aflatoxins - the poisons in molds - "are among the most carcinogenic substances known."
Furthermore, aflatoxin B~1~ can permeate through the skin and its LD~50~ can be as low as 300 µg/kg.

Are you using "mig" as milligram or microgram? For that to be a term you'd use, I assume you recognize you're responding to a quantity in micrograms.
