Having mold in one’s blood is a very serious condition, usually associated with some type of immunodeficiency state, and with it one is almost always acutely ill.  If you truly do have mold in your blood, the first thing is to establish the source of the mold in your body, determine the cause of its being there and then treat it with an antifungal medicine.  There are 2 types of doctors who deal with mold in the lungs:  pulmonary, also known as lung specialists; and infectious disease specialists.

Good luck.
