Mold is an environmental allergy found both indoors and outdoors. It can cause a variety of health effects, or none, but it has been proven to cause allergic reactions or aggravate asthma symptoms<\/a> for some. Allergic reactions occur when the body overreacts to a stimulus that wouldn\u2019t normally be harmful and can present itself in a variety of symptoms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mold symptoms can display themselves in the form of congestion, wheezing and red and itchy eyes and skin.
Other symptoms can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Itchy eyes, nose or throat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Congestion<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7       Runny nose<\/p>\n\n\n\n
