Other plants usually do not cause problems because the pollen only travels by insects, not in the air. Pollens are responsible for allergies outside. Some hyphae specialize by reproducing through spores that disperse in water, air, or by insects or animals. Such spores are strong allergens, which when inhaled by an allergic patient may cause significant symptoms. Although complete eradication of molds is impossible, the use of dehumidifiers and fungicides can produce significant reduction in mold concentration.
Proper care is mandatory to prevent mold contamination of humidifiers.
The bathrooms should not be carpeted, especially in the children's area. Bathrooms should be painted and not wallpapered. Any wall or carpeting which has been infested with mold should be replaced. Cleaning of carpets is best left to professionals. After working in soil or dirt, shoes and clothing should be washed or brushed clean.
