Mold is one of the most hazardous household substances for people with allergie<\/a>s and asthma. It can trigger asthma attacks and allergic reactions (such as hay fever or eczema), and it can even cause health problems in people without allergies and asthma .<\/p>\n

Mold will grow in humid, damp environments, so the best way to intercept and control indoor mold is to keep your house as dry and ventilated as possible. Obviously bathrooms are the first place for mold to get a head start. Also, there are some other surprising sources of mold in your home, such as firewood.<\/p>\n

Indoor mold (fungus) is very common in humid areas and in homes that have damp areas such as basements. Mold may trigger asthma symptoms, such as wheezing or coughing, or another allergic reaction, such as the rash of atopic dermatitis or stuffy nose of allergic rhinitis. Substances that trigger these reactions are called allergens.<\/p>\n

Even though there is no strong evidence that reducing damp areas in your home or limiting exposure to those areas helps decrease allergy and asthma symptoms, the following advice may be helpful.<\/p>\n
