Hypersensitivity Diseases related to Mold Allergy

Hypersensitivity diseases related to mold allergy occur when the immune system overreacts to mold spores, which are tiny fungal particles found in the environment. When a person with a mold allergy breathes in these spores, their body may respond with symptoms like sneezing, itching, and difficulty breathing. In more severe cases, this can lead to chronic conditions like asthma or allergic rhinitis. Prolonged exposure can also trigger hypersensitivity pneumonitis, an inflammation of the lungs. Managing mold exposure and addressing symptoms can help improve the quality of life for those affected.
