Facts About Mold & Mildew Allergies

---

Every household has mold & mildew. They invade long before you can see them. They are alive, thriving where nothing else can survive.  And they definitely aggravate allergy and asthma symptoms.

How common are mold and mildew allergies?

• More common than you might think!  Mold and mildew cause allergic rhinitis in one out of every five Americans.  So the itchy eyes and runny nose that many of us live with are really allergic reactions to mold and mildew in our home or workplace.
• Nearly one in seven people suffers from mold and mildew allergy-related sinusitis. And most of these people do not even know what causes their congestion or headaches.
• Mold and mildew provoke asthma symptoms in 12% of all adults and children. This is of particular concern to pediatricians because asthma can be a life-threatening condition in babies and little children.
• Nearly one in ten people experience allergic dermatitis when they come into contact with mold and mildew. Reactions range from embarrassing red, itchy skin to painful sores that erupt and easily infect.

There are many different kinds of mold. And they all provoke symptoms.

• They all have reproductive particles called “spores”. Experts say that in many areas of the country these spores are so prevalent that they surpass all allergy-provoking pollens in the air.
• They can proliferate almost anywhere.  Freezers, airtight refrigerators, dark closets, humidifiers, air conditioners, garbage pails, basement walls and flooring—these are just a few of their breeding grounds.
• Mold & mildew definitely cause allergy symptoms in some adults and children. That is because, when inhaled, their microscopic spores can bypass the nose and upper respiratory tract, traveling directly into the lungs.

The most common mold & mildew allergy symptoms are:

• sneezing (usually accompanied by a runny or clogged nose)
• coughing
• itching nose and throat
• irritated, watering eyes with dark circles below them
• recurrent conjunctivitis
