Do you suffer from symptoms of a mold allergy?

Mold is a fungi that grows on expired food and in damp areas. Symptoms of a mold allergy are caused by tiny mold spores that are spread easily in the wind or by indoor air currents. Mold is very resilient and even though its grows well indoors at room temperature it can withstand icy winter temperatures and lie dormant until the spring where it again emerges. There are thousands of different types of mold but only a few dozen are responsible for allergies.

Most often mold is discovered in bathrooms and basements, or other damp places that water has been spilled and not cleaned up. Surface mold is fairly easy to recognize, but hidden mold can be very difficult to find allowing it to grow under cover. Mold forms behind wallpaper, under rugs, floorboards, behind tile and walls. Mold testing can help determine and find these hidden sources of mold before they grow and destroy building materials and cause more health problems.

Symptoms of a mold allergy can include:
* Wheezing or coughing
* Runny or stuffy nose
* Red itchy eyes
* Watery eyes
* Skin rashes
