Symptoms of Mold Sensitivity

  Some people have a sensitivity or allergy to mold. There are various symptoms that are similar to those of other allergies. These symptoms include itchy or watery eyes, runny nose, and cough. Symptoms can vary based on time of year and level of mold exposure. The intensity of symptoms can also vary from mild to severe. Allergies are the most common symptoms of mold exposure, but there are other possible symptoms as well. <p>

Other illnesses such as skin infections or a flu-like illness are common. Untreated, these can lead to pneumonia. Exposure to toxic molds can manifest like flu, or in headaches, dizziness, nausea, or extreme fatigue. These symptoms are serious and require treatment from a medical care professional. Many of these symptoms are the same as other illnesses, therefore treatment by a medical care professional trained in treating environmental factors, such as mold exposure, is recommended.
