Mold is commonly an allergen. Those living in colder climate will experience even more mold allergy symptoms from spring to autumn. That’s because during this period mold spores will be floating in the air in huge quantities, due to the fact that mold requires moisture and warmth in order to flourish.
If you encounter symptoms suspected to be related to mold, your doctor may run a simple allergy scratch test to confirm whether you are indeed sensitive to mold.
People react to molds differently. Some would have stuffy or runny nose, some itchy eyes, some infected skin. These are called allergic response. It is caused by our body trying to fend off the invading mold molecules. Same way it fights off any sickness. However, prolonged exposure to mold can bring about mold allergies and sensitivity in people.
