        "text": "While dry rot primarily damages wood, the fungus can release microscopic spores into the air. For some individuals, particularly those with allergies or respiratory sensitivities, exposure to these spores might cause mild allergic reactions or exacerbate existing conditions. However, dry rot is not typically associated with the severe health risks posed by certain types of mold. Addressing dry rot promptly also prevents structural deterioration, which is the primary concern for most homeowners.",
