Molds produce spores, which spread in the air like pollen. It grows in moist and unlit areas such as basements, bathrooms, and are also present in grass and other areas outdoors. Ventilation should be improved inside the home, and outdoor activities like raking leaves should be avoided by allergic individuals.
Latex allergy can be triggered by gloves and condoms, and symptoms include skin rashes, sneezing, and more serious reactions like difficulty in breathing and gastrointestinal problems.
Certain medicines may also trigger allergic reactions, such as penicillin or aspirin. Patients should be tested before an operation or before receiving vaccine shots.
