Mold and Allergies: a Common Connection
You’re likely aware that mold can be a hidden culprit behind your allergies. Mold releases spores that your immune system identifies as harmful, producing IgE antibodies and causing symptoms like nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy eyes. The severity of reactions varies because individual sensitivity to mold differs. Understanding common molds like Cladosporium and Aspergillus can help with identification and mitigation. Mold spores can irritate your respiratory system, leading to long-term health issues. Prevention is key—maintain low humidity and repair leaks. Explore how thorough inspections and moisture control strategies can effectively manage mold and mitigate its impact on your health.
