Winter Allergies often Caused by High Indoor Mold Levels

Last week, dozens of states experienced the coldest weather of this winter season.  In some areas, temperatures that cold had not been experienced in close to 20 years.  The frigid conditions resulted in schools being closed and forced many people to stay indoors for several days.
 
For allergy sufferers, the cold weather was good news for those who react to pollen in the air.  However, many people who have allergies are allergic to mold, which can be found in many homes and buildings that have suffered past water damage or excessive humidity levels. 
 
Many people experience winter allergies due to exposure to mold and although these allergies are sometimes confused with the common cold, when the condition lasts for more than 10 days the cause is likely due to allergies and not a cold.  Winter allergy sufferers often feel tired and experience itchy eyes and throat, along with watery and clear nasal secretions that may last for weeks or more and can be intermittent. 
 
“Cold winter weather means homes and buildings have their windows shut and HVAC systems are working hard to provide warmth for building occupants,” said Chris Heller with FastMoldRemoval.com, a leading supplier of mold prevention and remediation products.   “These conditions can allow for the accumulation of a number of common indoor allergens, including mold, and forced air heating can help to spread these allergens from room to room.  For people with mold allergies, it is important to identify the source of the mold indoors and have it safely removed.” 
 
For properties with mold issues, FastMoldRemoval.com offers the leading mold remediation and prevention products.  MMR mold stain remover, MPI antimicrobial, HydroKlenz and ProClear are just a few of products used by professionals to quickly and safely handle mold in indoor environments.
