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.

John came out within 2 hours of our call for help. Within 4 hours of him coming out his team was hear ripping up our basement and saving it from mold. I owe them 40k because that's what it would have cost if they didn't help as quick as they did. Will tell all 3 of my friends about them.  Rob also great and so was the team, so professional, so quick.

I had some water damage above my garage after a plumbing incident and was very upset about it. Thankfully Justin and his team at tidal wave made the experience easy and much less of a headache. His team took out the damaged drywall did a full restoration and cleaned up after themselves. Made my damaged ceiling look brand new.

We thought Tidal Wave did great work with our water damage remediation and repair. Everyone who showed up was professional and skillful. We had some challenges with scheduling communications and delays but everyone was generally responsive and helpful. We appreciated that they were a one stop shop that could handle everything for us. We would definitely recommend Tidal Wave to others.

Tidal Wave is one of a kind! I had a pipe that burst and they responded the same day! The team lead, Chris, was extremely professional and courteous. He assured me that I would be taken care of and I was totally impressed with their swift response time. The owner, Johnny, called and told me he was sorry I had experienced water damage in my home and also assured me that everything would be fine. The project manager, Justin, was also extremely kind and provided me with beautiful replacement floor samples. Once my floors are finished, I’m going to submit…

Talk about a company that lives up to it`s name! Called them in the morning within an hour Rob a very professional representative showed up at the house and helped me file a claim. Twenty minutes later a crew showed up and began demo. A few hours later Tidal Wave Response had figured out the leak was gone. Everything happened so fast and efficiently. They helped us understand what our insurance covered and guaranteed the demo would be covered by insurance or them. We are so happy to be working with this company and highly recommend them.

Very, very professional from start to finish. Crew came into my home removed all of the damage items that was damaged by a water leak from the upper level of the home. Worked very fast and cleaned up behind themselves as if they were never there. It was like watch a action movie. Setup the dryers and other equipment very fast also and organized our furniture so that we could get to things as needed. Tidal Wave made a very bad situation feel okay, I`m thankful that we chose you guys. Again thanks for being so professional and responsive

We had a water damage in our home and we Googled water damage restoration. We had 2 companies come out for an inspection and... Honestly we were very pleased with the punctuality & knowledge of Rob at Tidal Wave Response. He was very soft and well spoken and listened to our concerns about our home. Rob showed a very compassionate side of how a service professional treats his customer. Our choice was Tidal Wave Response based on their outstanding reviews and knowledge of insurance claims. Tidal Wave also met with the claims adjuster for our property damage inspection. This was…

We highly recommend Tidal Wave Response! Johnny came out late last night to assess a failed water heater that flooded our finished basement. He coordinated with Mr. Rooter Plumbing to have a plumber dispatched at 11:45PM who confirmed the water was shut off and put some emergency repairs in place to ensure no further damage would occur. This morning at 7:10 AM (20 minutes earlier than expected) the Tidal Wave Response team was on site at our house. They assessed the damage, and assisted us in contacting our home owners insurance company to create our insurance claim. They preformed the…

My upstairs bathroom overflowed. The water ran into two of my bedrooms and the hallway. My wife called Tidal Wave and they were at our home in less than an hour. Johnny`s team came out and were very quick and professional. They sucked up the water set equipment and the supervisor explained the process. They even offered to do our repairs and said they would handle it all. My wife and I are very pleased so far. I will make it my business to recommend this company to family and friends. This company is honest, and gets the job done.

So far GREAT!!! They came right out, took out wet walls, cleaned up perfectly (no dust) set up fans. I’m going to use them to put the walls back up and paint too! They are going to meet with my field insurance agent, too, to make sure everything is covered. Fingers crossed they continue to be great!

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.
