are food spores dangerous?

ive just found some very moldy food in the bottom of the fridge, it belongs to my old flatmate at university who moved out 3 months ago, i should have checked the fridge really when he left.

im worried about the health affects this could have had on me

is it dangerous to have moldy things in the fridge for a long time?

most of the food i kept in there was packaged but a few things werent

should i be concerned?

No reason to be concerned. Toss out the moldy food.

Some molds are very good that do happy things and some molds are very nasty and do nasty things. Should you be concerned? I donno. There isn't much you can do about the situation now. Probably it isn't worth worrying about. Clean the fridge with a five percent bleach solution. And go on with your life.
