Question by Hyperbola: Can mold grow on anything that has water?
I ask this because I can’t help but worrying about whether I should dry freshly washed dishes that have some water on them.
On a slightly unrelated note, is there any reason for me to fear mold in the first place?
“The elderly, pregnant women, infants and young children, people with allergies, chronic respiratory illness and/or chemical sensitivities and those with weakened immune systems are most likely to experience health effects from mould.”
I’m a 20 year old male.

Is there any reason you’re including a phrase from somewhere in your question, and then don’t list the source of where? Just wondering. Yes, many people have a strong dislike/fear of mold, whether it’s from just being wet or sitting and getting black. Freshly washed dishes shouldn’t be sitting long enough to develop mold and they should definitely NOT be put away that way either. This is how it grows on each other too. The dish on top is damp and transfers whatever is left over on the back of it to the front of the dish on top. Cups and glasses are hard to dry also. The food and dollar stores will usually carry a long handled tool that you can use for drying inside of glasses and/or hard to reach dishes. Check these out or ask a store clerk or manager about them. The inventory people usually know where everything is out on display for easy sale too. Good luck and God Bless
