Black Mold Allergy
Experiencing headache, watery eyes and runny nose lately? What you are experiencing may be allergic reactions toward the common household mold or simply black mold. The occurrence of these allergic reactions may have been triggered by the sudden growth of mold in your house, especially just right after a storm that may have allowed moisture to collect, providing mold with the perfect environment to thrive and propagate.
Most often when symptoms do appear, people just don’t have a clue to what might be causing the problem. Symptoms of black mold allergy include:
When mold has established a stronghold in your house it subsequently releases microscopic spores into the air as a means of self-propagation. These spores grow to provide an abundant supply of mold in your house. Mold spores, if inhaled can attack the respiratory system. Frequent sneezing and cough that lingers for weeks are possibly symptoms of black mold allergy. If left untreated, mold allergens will bring about difficulties in breathing and in some cases allow for the development of asthma.
Skin rash, a well-known allergy symptom may also be an effect of mold spores. These mold spore float in the air until they happen to cling on any surface. And if that surface happens to be the epidermis of someone who is known to have allergic reaction to mold, skin rashes may arise.
Other indications of black mold allergy are vomiting, diarrhea, blood in mucus, dizziness and anemia. Babies and senior citizens are more prone having adverse allergic reactions. They must seek a doctor as soon as the first symptom of allergy appears.
