Mold

Mold spore

• Hypersensitivity to mold is quite frequent
• Allergy to mold is fairly rare. It mostly occurs in case of massive exposure (greenhouse; mushroom cultivation; basements, etc.)

 Eviction of mold requires to:* remediate damp housing (usually basements)* ventilate the bathroom* remove potted plants* do not use humidifiersMedical treatment is the same as for pollinosis, including desensitization. NB: desensitization is indicated only in certain cases, especially if mold is the only allergen responsible of symptoms.
