Mold Allergies

Mold allergies stem from the body's immune response to mold spores, tiny particles released by molds, a fungus commonly found in damp and humid environments indoors and outdoors. When individuals with mold allergies inhale or come in contact with mold spores, their immune system overreacts, viewing them as harmful invaders. This exaggerated response triggers an allergic reaction, leading to a range of symptoms, including sneezing, nasal congestion, coughing, itchy or watery eyes, skin irritation, and, in severe cases, difficulty breathing or asthma-like symptoms.
