As mould grows, it releases what we call mould spores which can act as allergy-causing substances (allergens). When mould spores are breathed in the immune system reacts by creating an allergenic response. This is the body\u2019s defence against foreign particles entering the body.<\/p>\n<p>The more exposure to mould after the initial reaction, the more sensitive to mould the immune system becomes. Even to small amounts of the mount, the allergenic responses can become more severe. Allergic reactions to mould may occur immediately and can occur hours or days after exposure.<\/p>\n<p>Symptoms of mould include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sneezing<\/li>\n<li>Coughing<\/li>\n<li>Sore Throat<\/li>\n<li>Runny Nose<\/li>\n<li>Itchy or Redness of Eyes<\/li>\n<li>Skin Irritation<\/li>\n<li>Weakness<\/li>\n<li>Fatigue<\/li>\n<li>Headaches<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Allergic response to mould can even set off an asthma attack in an asthmatic person.

Symptoms produced from mycotoxins are much worse than those symptoms produced from allergic reactions.
