Treatment of symptoms of mold allergy depends on the type of allergy. Some types of molds can be highly allergenic, producing mycotoxins, which can be absorbed through the skin, intestines, or airways.
Mycotoxins are substances that cause diseases in almost every system of the body, including the liver, kidneys, and blood. If you suspect that you are allergic to mold, you should see a physician.
To reduce your mold exposure, try to make your house less humid. Air conditioners that have HEPA filters work better than those with electrostatic filters. Also, avoid air cleaners that use ozone, heat, or ions.
Over-the-counter medications that target a specific allergen can provide relief to some, but you should always consult your doctor before taking any medication. Depending on the severity of your symptoms, certain medications may offer you temporary or long-term relief.
