One out of every five people in the United States suffers from allergies?
There are several causes of allergy symptoms: food allergies (peanuts/dairy), seasonal allergies (pollen, mold) and pet allergies (dander). A vast number of homes with basements have moisture problems. Humid, damp basements provide the perfect environment for mold and dust mites that could be causing or exacerbating your allergy symptoms. These two irritants cause the vast majority of airborne allergy symptoms. In fact, studies show that nearly all chronic sinus infections are a result of mold. If you suffer from allergies, you know the symptoms: sneezing, congestion, headache, heavy mucus discharge, inflammation of the mucus membrane in the nose and sinus. For those of you who don’t have allergies, the term refers to the immune systems over-sensitive response to bodily contact with a particular foreign substance (mold, dust mites). The symptoms of mold allergies are similar to those of other allergies.
