News From The Clinic
Are You Allergic to Mold?
Mold is everywhere — it can be found outdoors, in your home, and in buildings you visit. The fungus likes damp environments and produces spores that can become airborne. It needs four things to grow: air, water, food, and appropriate temperature. Outdoor mold levels tend to be higher in the late spring through early fall when the weather is warm and moist. In southern climates like here in Georgia, mold spores are present year-round.
Mold Allergy Symptoms
People with a mold allergy will experience symptoms similar to those caused by other airborne allergens like pollen and dust. If you are allergic to mold, your immune system will be overly sensitive to specific spores and in turn will trigger symptoms. High mold levels can also exacerbate asthma symptoms in asthmatics sensitive to mold.
Common mold allergy symptoms may include:
Runny nose
Congestion
Watery eyes
Sneezing
Itchy eyes, nose, mouth, and lips
