Allergic Conditions: Molds
Molds
are microscopic fungi, related to mushrooms and mildew, but without stems, roots
or leaves. Their spores float in the air like pollen, and are present throughout
the year in many states. Unlike pollens, molds do not have a specific season,
but are affected by weather conditions such as wind, rain or temperature.
Outdoor mold spores begin to appear after a spring thaw and reach their peak in
July in warmer states and October in the colder states. Molds can be found all
year long outdoors in the South and on the West coast.
