Allergen Series: Molds (Part 2)
![]()
Mold can also found outdoors ; on leaves, trees, piled wood, rocks, drainage, rain gutters, roof and walls. People allergic to molds should avoid mowing the lawn, raking leaves and gardening. Drainage ditches and rain gutters should always be cleaned, assuring the removal of leaves to avoid stagnant water from accumulating. Plant containers, especially if being kept indoors, should always be clean and dry.
Certain jobs expose you to environments where molds thrive like logging, baking, mill work, carpentry, plumbing, gardening, house cleaning, carpet washing and furniture repair. People allergic to molds should take caution, or prepare doctor recommended remedies just in case symptoms start to show.
