The Link Between Washington, D.C. Home Mold and Allergy Symptoms

Understanding Mold Exposure and Allergies

Have you been sneezing, coughing, or congested while at your Washington, D.C. home? Have you considered that you may be experiencing house mold allergy symptoms?

The inhalation or touching of mold fragments and spores can cause health problems that vary from person to person. Some molds can cause congestion and flu-like symptoms, while toxic molds can weaken your immune system. In high concentrations, molds found in Washington, D.C. homes can trigger symptoms even in those people without allergies.

Health problems associated with mold exposure include allergic reactions, irritation of tissues, infections, and toxic effects due to mycotoxins. Inhaling mold spores or touching mold can lead to such allergic reactions as sneezing, respiratory problems, red eyes, headache, skin rash, nose and throat irritation, and sensitivity to light. Allergic reactions associated with mold exposure can be immediate or delayed up to several hours.

Mold allergies can flare all year long and can even lead to serious respiratory problems, including difficulty breathing and chest tightness.
