Mold Allergies
When many of us think of mold, the image that comes to mind is that of the substance that we may find growing on our bread, or the yucky stuff that appears in the corners of the shower. Many people will also think of medicines we have gained from mold such as penicillin, or the products we create with it like cheese and black tea. A lesser-known effect that mold brings into many people’ s lives is mold allergies. Mold allergies are similar in many ways to pollen and other allergies, yet they have their own differences and quirks.

The mold spore (or part of the spore) is inhaled through the nose or mouth and due to their small size may evade the body’s protection against them.
