Testing and Treatment for Mold Allergy

Testing for a mold allergy typically involves skin or blood tests to identify specific mold sensitivities. Treatment focuses on reducing exposure—keeping indoor humidity low, cleaning mold from surfaces, and improving ventilation. Medications like antihistamines or nasal sprays can alleviate allergy symptoms. In some cases, immunotherapy (allergy shots) may be recommended to build tolerance. The goal is to minimize symptoms and prevent mold from aggravating respiratory issues. Consulting an allergist can help develop a personalized plan tailored to your environment and health needs.
