I wouldn't enter that place and contact the local health department. The cleaning person is probably going to get sick

Whereas this might seem cut and dry of a decision to you, that would displace this person from their home until they are forced to come up with the money to pay for it, in most jurisdictions. In others, they will clean it for you and then charge you that amount back, plus fees. Ans the owner is still displaced until they remedy it. That could mean homelessness for them.

Agreed. Or if it enters the HVAC/vents so that it gets circulated in the air.

Yeah. Mold spores getting blown around is a much more serious problem.

Tell me more about how it feels. I've lost most of my strength and been very ill most of this year. I blamed it on alcoholism, but I was so ill at the start of this year that I couldn't clean I am now surrounded by mold. Maybe the consequences of me being ill are keeping me ill. I just gave up and accepted that I'm dying no matter what, but maybe I'm wrong. Do you get pins and needles a lot?

I think I might have more than one problem, then. Using what little strength I have left to clean up next time I have a good day might be worthwhile. I'll still be kinda fucked, but maybe not as fucked as I thought I was. I miss being able to walk fast all day long. The pins and needles fade a bit if I take a shit ton of vitamin B1, and I'm pretty sure my liver isn't completely fucked. Maybe I have a chance. The really weird thing is that I can sing better now, but I stopped smoking at the same time as I got sick.
