Mycotoxins and Mold Allergy

Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by certain molds. When mold spores are inhaled, they can trigger allergic reactions in sensitive individuals, leading to symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes. Inhalation of mycotoxins may worsen respiratory issues or cause more severe reactions. Mold thrives in damp environments, and common sources include bathrooms, kitchens, and basements. Reducing moisture and maintaining good ventilation can help prevent mold growth and mitigate allergy symptoms. If you suspect a mold-related allergy, consulting a healthcare professional is advisable for appropriate evaluation and management.
