  https://www.toplinemd.com/allergy-institute/mold-allergy-symptoms-everything-you-need-to-know/

  Mold is a common element in our environment, present both indoors and outdoors. While most people coexist with mold without any adverse effects, others may experience mold allergy symptoms, leading to discomfort and health issues. […] Mold allergies are hypersensitive reactions to mold spores, microscopic particles released by mold as part of their reproductive process. Mold spores can be found in the air, and when inhaled by susceptible individuals, they trigger an immune response. The immune system perceives these spores as harmful invaders, leading to the release of chemicals such as histamines that cause the symptoms associated with mold allergies. […] Persistent coughing is a hallmark symptom of mold allergies. Mold spores, when inhaled, can irritate the respiratory tract, leading to coughing. This persistent cough is often dry and may worsen in environments with high mold concentrations, making it an important clue for individuals suspecting mold-related respiratory issues. […] Sneezing is the body’s natural response to foreign particles, and mold spores are no exception. Individuals with mold allergies may experience frequent sneezing as their immune system attempts to expel the irritants. This constant sneezing can be bothersome and disruptive to daily life. […] Mold spores can trigger an inflammatory response in the nasal passages, resulting in a runny or stuffy nose. This symptom is akin to the common cold but may persist or worsen in environments where mold is prevalent. Chronic nasal congestion can affect one’s ability to breathe comfortably and lead to other complications if left unaddressed. […] In more severe cases, mold allergy symptoms can escalate to shortness of breath. This occurs as the airways become constricted due to inflammation, making it difficult for individuals to breathe normally. Shortness of breath is a concerning symptom that warrants prompt attention from a healthcare professional. […] Wheezing is a whistling or squeaky sound produced during breathing and is indicative of narrowed airways. Mold allergies can contribute to wheezing, particularly in individuals with pre-existing respiratory conditions such as asthma. Monitoring for wheezing is crucial, and any signs of respiratory distress should prompt immediate medical evaluation.
