Understanding Mycotoxins and Hidden Mold DFWSAS Mycotoxins June 21, 2025 Mycotoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds such as Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), Aspergillus , and Penicillium , pose significant health risks when present in hidden mold within buildings.

Protecting Legal Hemp in Texas: Benefits and Advocacy Against SB 5 Published: July 25, 2025 | Author: Shane Shipman  Why Hemp Matters in Texas Thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, hemp-derived products—legally defined as cannabis with less than 0.3% Delta-9 THC—have transformed lives in Texas. As highlighted in a recent X post by Shane Shipman ( https://t.co/5KTUFYWx1k ), these products offer legal access to cannabinoids that relieve pain, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea .
