Mold Allergy Symptoms And Signs

Mold, any type of fungus that spreads on food or living places, can be a big threat to your health. Mold allergies are one of the most common symptoms people suffer from because of these molds. It is important to control mold in multifamily dwellings, especially for people suffering from mold allergies and symptoms. Being exposed to moisture and the humid condition is the main cause of mold formation. There are mold allergy signs that you should know before you get infected with them. Anybody can become allergic to molds. Contact Tidal Wave Response immediately for mold remediation if you suspect mold or moisture.

Symptoms of Mold Allergies

Mold allergies may cause complications if left untreated.

These complications include:

  • Asthma attacks. Some people with mold allergies may experience asthma attacks when exposed to spores. Asthma attacks occur when the body overreacts to an allergen in the air by constricting airways in your lungs. This makes it harder to breathe and can lead to wheezing or coughing fits. If you have asthma and a mold allergy, you're more likely to have an attack than someone who doesn't have either condition.
  • Skin rashes and infections. When you come into contact with mold spores that get into your eyes or skin, it can cause irritation that leads to rashes on your face or other areas of your body where you were exposed to the spores (such as near your nose) if you touch something that has mold on it and then touches your eyes or mouth without washing your hands.

Hi. I don’t know where to start. John and Tidal wave his company were and still are a blessing from my Lord. One morning in January of this year I went down stairs and stepped in a puddle of water it was flooded. I also passed out. This was the second one in less than a year. I stood there for a minute and just cried. All I could think of was my insurance company may not take care of it a second time even if it was for a different leak. The last claim they paid out $23,000 for…

I have worked in sales and also have experience in launching my own business. It is rare that you find a company that genuinely has your best interest in mind. Not only was John helpful outside of his business’ expertise, but he sent Chris to do a *free* evaluation of our water damage. John and Chris were both genuine and personable. They cared about what our situation was and they weren’t looking to get any sort of “fee” for their time. These are the kind of people you trust to handle big, catastrophic water damage to. I have previously had…

While others might categorize John as a fast talker, but on the other hand. I saw a man that's passionate about his business and willing to help others elevate their present situation. In early December 2022, our laundry room floor and wall got water damaged due to leakage from the hotline pipe, and other rooms got impacted due to water spreading. So, I reached out to John and he assured me they'll do everything within their power to get our house done before Christmas day. Boy was he right! John and the tidalwave response team were professional, helpful and got…

We did not plan to renovate our terrace level but when the hot water heater leaked and flooded the entire area, Tidal Wave was recommended to us by the plumber who installed the new hot water heater. John, the owner was at our house the same evening and mitigation started early the next morning. The crew professionally removed wet drywall, flooring, and baseboard. Fans and dehumidifiers ran for several days and then the fun began. With Colin's help we were able to choose updated flooring, repaint a color of our choice, and new trim was installed. Everything was completed professionally.…

Wow incredible company! I had a water damage that destroyed my entire main level. John and his team are very quick and efficient. When I was looking on google, tidal wave response was the only water restoration company with a 5 star review. Highly recommended using tidal wave response!!

I had a flood in my downstairs living room. It was devastating. John with Tidal wave was very professional. He had his team show up immediately to get the job done. Great work Tidal Wave. I'm definitely going to refer you to others.

Thank Goodness !!! Johnny on the spot! We had a pipe ruptured in the ceiling and we were looking for a 5 Star Rated Water Restoration company . Johnny came out with a Thermal Camera and found the pipe spraying behind the wall. I wish I would have called him sooner . My wood floors were so damaged by the water, they all will need to be replaced. We highly recommended Johnny with Tidal Wave. Very knowledgeable and even helped us start a claim with our insurance ..

Had a shaky start with this particular project but I must say the owner took charge and corrected all the remaining issues. I will say that this particular job was the absolute worst I have taken on in 45 yrs. My hat is off to Mike and his crew and Allan was superb in making sure everything was done correctly. Thank you for your follow-up on this project guys. And Allan thank you especially for your thoroughness in making sure it was completed correctly.

Unfortunately, my water heater was old, cracked, and leaking water onto the supported area in my garage. I needed to replace the water heater with a new one, but the plumber told me that in order to meet the city code, I would have to handle the water damage first. I called out tidal wave (who I’ve worked with before), and they came out the very next day to cut out the affected area and treat for mold. This is my second issue with water in my house and tidal wave has taken care of both issues. They are fast,…

Complications of Mold Allergies

Mold exposure can be dangerous for anyone who is allergic to it. Some people develop asthma-like symptoms after exposure to molds or after spending time in environments with a lot of mold growth, like humid basements or attics. These people might need daily medications to control their asthma symptoms. A few types of molds are known as "toxic molds" because they can cause serious health problems when they grow indoors and release toxins into the air that cause health issues in people who are sensitive to them.

Different Types of Mold

Molds come in many varieties, but some types are more likely to cause allergy symptoms than others.

Alternaria

Alternaria is a type of fungus that grows on plants as well as indoors and outdoors. It can cause skin irritation, redness, and respiratory symptoms such as cough and wheezing.

Aspergillus

Aspergillus is another fungus growing on decaying plant matter such as leaves or grass clippings. It is one of the most common indoor airborne allergens because it grows in places like carpets, drywall, and insulation around windows and doors. People with allergies may experience allergic rhinitis (inflammation inside the nose), asthma attacks, or sinusitis (inflammation inside the nasal passages).

Cladosporium

The most common type is Cladosporium, which is found on dead leaves or grasses. Cladosporium is often found outdoors but can also grow indoors on food stored in damp areas like bathrooms and basements.

Signs of Mold

Mold can be found just about anywhere, and it's not just in your home. Mold spores are everywhere — in the air, food, and plants. When you breathe in mold, your body reacts to the allergens with an allergic reaction that includes sneezing, coughing, and a runny nose. Mold is often invisible; your first identification may be your health and exposure symptoms.

Tips For Mold Prevention

Remove water-damaged items from your home as soon as possible (before mold grows). If you see signs of water damage, such as leaks or stains on walls or ceilings, fix them immediately. Don't let them sit. If you're unsure how to fix the problem, ask a professional for advice.

Remediation As Soon As Possible

Mold is a resilient and dangerous fungus found almost anywhere, yet mold allergy symptoms are not always noticeable. When living indoors, exposure to mold spores can easily occur and cause respiratory issues. Those with asthma, sinus problems, and allergies are more vulnerable to mold exposure than others. The mold that grows indoors will typically flourish in warm, humid locations such as basements, bathrooms, attics, and crawl spaces.

Do not attempt mold removal and remediation on your own. Exposure to these hazards by non-trained professionals can further complicate the matter.
