As the seasons change, many people experience allergies due to pollen, dust, and mold spores. Mold is a significant contributor to seasonal allergies, often going unnoticed as a culprit behind sneezing, congestion, and itchy eyes. 

How Mold Triggers Allergies 

Mold spores become airborne and can be inhaled, leading to allergic reactions. Common symptoms include: 

  • Sneezing and nasal congestion 
  • Itchy, watery eyes 
  • Sinus pressure and headaches 
  • Coughing and throat irritation 

Where Mold is Found During Seasonal Changes 

  • Spring & Summer: High humidity levels create a breeding ground for mold in basements, bathrooms, and air conditioning units. 
  • Fall & Winter: Mold thrives in damp piles of fallen leaves, attics, and poorly ventilated areas. 

How to Reduce Mold Allergies 

  • Use air purifiers with HEPA filters 
  • Keep humidity levels below 50% 
  • Regularly clean mold-prone areas 
  • Avoid outdoor activities when mold counts are high 

Taking preventive measures can help reduce mold-related allergies and improve overall indoor air quality.
