exposure to mold can intensify your asthma and trigger

asthma attacks. Issues with nasal congestion, headaches, and

fatigue are also linked to a mold spore allergy. Avoiding mold

exposure is the best way to deal with a mold spore allergy.

A Home Mold Free Is The Way To Go

If you have a mold allergy symptom such as nasal congestion,

sneezing fits, a rash, wheezing, difficulty breathing or an

irritated cough you should seek the advice of an allergist. An

allergist will be able to determine what kinds of mold are

causing your mold spore allergy. With this information you can

determine whether or not your home needs to be inspected. More often

than not a mold spore allergy comes from easy to deal with mold that

you can get rid of on your own.

There are a few steps you can take to keep your home mold

free. Keeping your house well ventilated and free from moisture is

key when dealing with a mold spore allergy. To keep home

mold free begin by cleaning the actual area affected by mold.

this can be done with water and dish soap for small areas but a

solution of water and vinegar is actually the best for this purpose.

If you suffer from a mold spore allergy then you might want to wear

a mask while doing this to ensure your symptoms do not get

worse.Take care of leaks and other sources of moisture to keep

mold growth from happening in the future. Keep damp areas such

as bathrooms well ventilated to prevent moisture from building

up.

The use of a  dehumidifier in the basement is wise to keep

humidity levels at a point that will not encourage mold growth. Get

rid of porous materials that have been affected by mold such as

carpeting, wallpaper, and wooden furniture. The mold may have moved

deep into the material and cleaning the surface alone will not help

the matter. Any dehumidifiers you use must be cleaned out

regularly to keep airflow in the room clean, using air filters

will also help with a mold spore allergy.
