Unlike pollen, mold allergy can cause symptoms any time of the year. These tiny fungi can cause symptoms from the molds for the and from living and dead mold cells. They are found in soil and in the air and they like moist shady areas. Although they prefer warm conditions of between 70 and 90° they can also live at lower temperatures in colder climates they become dormant during the winter but in warmer climates they thrive all through the year. Mold allergy remedies need to deal with the mold that is causing the problem.

As mold grows best in warm conditions it will flourish in your home anywhere there is moisture. It can grow on a variety of substances including wood, fabric, paint, tile and grout. Mold often starts in the basement where it is damp and then spreads through the house by means of airborne spores. The kitchen and bathroom are places and mold thrives as they are moist and warm.
