Mold Allergies

Mold allergies occur when your immune system reacts to mold spores in the environment, mistaking them for harmful invaders. Common symptoms include sneezing, nasal congestion, itchy eyes, and respiratory issues, especially in damp or mold-prone areas. Allergic reactions can vary in severity and may worsen with prolonged exposure. Managing mold allergies involves reducing indoor moisture, cleaning moldy surfaces, and sometimes using allergy medications or air purifiers to improve air quality. If symptoms persist, consulting an allergist can help identify specific sensitivities and develop an effective treatment plan.
