Mold Allergies (Treating allergies with hypnosis)
Mold is a type of fungus that grows on the surface of organic material such as food particles and living plants. The reproductive particles or seeds that these molds form are known as spores. The spores float in the air like pollen and are a cause for allergic reactions among many people. Molds grow where there is dampness or moisture in shady areas with availability of oxygen and enough food. They can be found both indoors and outdoors, in places like damp basements, bathrooms, air conditioners, garbage, upholstered furniture, wallpaper, wall ceilings, food storage areas, refrigerators, plants and soil. Since molds become air borne and are very small, they can be easily inhaled. When these molds are inhaled they cause allergic reactions in lots of people in the nose or upper respiratory track before reaching the lungs. Some people might also have allergic reactions by eating certain food items that contains the fungus.
The symptoms of mold allergies vary in different individuals. Some of the symptoms include nasal congestion, cold and flu, coughing, irritation and itching in the eyes, nose or throat, red or swollen eyes, asthma, sinusitis, skin rashes, hay fever, mold allergies and lung infections.
Molds can lead to serious health problems. Certain blood tests, skin patch tests and allergy tests are done to diagnose a mold allergy. Once identified, the goal of the treatment is to reduce the allergy symptoms because people generally can’t control their exposure to molds. Medications help to reduce the symptoms but it is very important to ensure the cleanliness of indoor environments to eliminate or minimize the growth of the molds in the house. To control molds in the house, it is important to check humid areas and keep then as dry as possible. Food contaminated by molds should not be kept in the house. Dehumidifiers, air conditioners and areas where mold grow quickly should be cleaned regularly. After cleaning, drying and removing of molds, disinfectants and allergy reduction products can be used to ensure that molds are thoroughly wiped off.
