Is dry rot harmful to health?

Is dry rot harmful to health, my daughter lives in a house where the adjoining property has just been treated for dry rot in the roof timbers. The workmen advised that it had spread right across the terrace and that she should have it treated. She has two very young children the oldes of whom is 2 years, he has been plagued since birth by constant chest infections and at one stage the doctors were even considering (but ruled out) cystic fibrosis. I am just wondering if this could be the caused by dry rot.

Your answers would be appreciated.

Many thanks
