Mold Allergies

Frequent interactions with mold lead to more time exposed to potentially high mold spore counts, so people working with mold in your home may prefer to wear these masks. Even for those who don’t work with mold, like your family members and guests, mold spores can be irritating. Mold causes allergy symptoms when your body reacts to the intrusion of mold spores into your ears, nose, and throat system. For those with asthma, lung disease, or a weakened immune system, their body’s attempts to combat mold spores get intense.
