How Household Mold Triggers Allergies
Have you been feeling sicker than usual around allergy season? Hidden mold and mildew can not only trigger allergy symptoms, but they can also make your allergies worse. It's important to know the impact mold and mildew can have on not only your home but also your body.
A house with high humidity is the perfect condition for mold to grow. Sleeping in or living in a house with high humidity above 50 percent can trigger severe allergic reactions.
What Are Symptoms of Allergies from Mold?
The most common symptoms people experience are sneezing, a runny nose, congestion, and itchy or watery eyes. People with asthma may also have difficulty breathing. If you start to experience any of these symptoms after being in a humid environment or around musty odors, you could be allergic to mold.
Symptoms can range from person to person, and in some cases, you could likely be affected year-round depending on the extent of mold damage to your home.
How Can Home Restoration Prevent Allergic Reactions?
If you think your home might have mold, it's important to contact a home restoration company as soon as possible. Home restoration companies will come and test for mold in your home. If they find mold, they will develop a plan to remove the mold and prevent it from returning.
Living in a humid environment doesn't mean you have to suffer from allergies. By taking the proper precautions and being aware of the signs, you can live comfortably without worry.
