If you are one of the approx 16% of the population unable to clear mold toxins from your body, the mold toxins can persist and keep you sick for decades after the end of any exposure to moldy environments.

If you aren't chronically ill, I don't think you need do anything. There is a blood test for whether you can detox mold toxins, but a doctor would need to order it, and, e.g., Medicare would not pay for it.

Can you give some sources/context on this? (Not doubting what you said, genuinely curious)

I see that they're saying 24% of the population, not the 1-in-6 I recall reading from some other source. Also, I seem to have been wrong about the test's needed to be ordered by a doctor (except in Pennsylvania).
