Everytime the body comes into contact with a substance it considers as harmful, it reacts by releasing histamines to fight off these allergens. As the body fights these allergens, the person exhibits the classic symptoms of an allergic reaction. There are many substances that can cause allergy like insect bites, pollen, dust and food. Aside from shellfish, fish and eggs, allergy to peanuts is the most common.

Contrary to popular belief, mold allergies are not very common. There are thousands of different types of mold out there. Of all these types, only a select few cause allergic responses.
Mold, also referred to as fungus, grows in practically any type of weather, both indoors and outdoors. Mold allergies do not usually have a defined season such as pollen allergy, although quite a few outdoor molds can be quite common during spring to late fall.
The best defence against asthma caused by mold allergies is to avoid airborne seeds that can be easily inhaled, which are known as mold spores. But avoiding a substance that is as widespread as mold can be difficult sometimes. But do not fret, there are many available medications that can relieve the symptoms of mold allergies.
Mold allergy symptoms are similar to the same signs and symptoms of other types of respiratory allergies.

Watery Eyes
Itchy eyes, nose and throat

Runny or stuffy nose
Cough and postnasal drip
Frequent sneezing
Skin rashes or hives
Inflammation of the sinuses

(Sinusitis)

In regard to some of the more mild symptoms, medical attention is not necessary, but if any of the symptoms seem to worsen over time then it is highly advised to see a doctor. A doctor can easily administer tests which will identify the cause of the allergic symptoms. A doctor can also provide you with prescription medication that is likely to help diminish your symptoms.
People who have mold allergies might experience allergy-related asthma, which may be serious during an asthma attack. Signs and symptoms of asthma include shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.
The treatment and medication for mold allergy is similar to the treatment of other allergies. Many kinds of medications are available for asthma caused by mold allergy, such as inhaled corticosteroids and bronchodilators. For allergic rhinitis caused by mold allergy, there are antihistamines, decongestants, and nasal sprays.
