Mold (fungi) produce a large number of allergens and toxins (mycotoxins) which can trigger or promote the development of rhinitis (nasal congestion) and asthma/ wheezing. |
Many published studies have documented that exposure to mold and their mycotoxins and/or indoor damp conditions (which can promote growth of mold, bacteria and dust mites) are associated with significantly higher levels of rhinitis and asthma. {flike} |
