Many publications that deal with mould remediation suggest that the homeowner can deal with small amounts of mould (usually defined as 10 square feet or less (about 1 sq. meter). it is strongly recommended that you wear gloves, eye protection and a paper respirator such as a N-95 or N-100 (available at Home Depot and most hardware stores). However, if you are concerned you may be susceptible to mould allergens or mycotoxins, you may want to call PuroClean to have them do an assessment of your specific situation.
