- Cladosporium Herbarum: Allergen Specific Ige
Cladosporium herbarum is a common airborne mold found in damp environments, soil, and decaying plant matter. Inhalation of Cladosporium spores can trigger allergic rhinitis, asthma, sinusitis, and skin reactions such as hives or eczema flare-ups. People with compromised immune systems may also develop fungal infections.
To reduce exposure, control indoor humidity levels (below 50%), fix water leaks, use dehumidifiers, and ensure proper ventilation in damp areas like bathrooms and basements. Avoid raking leaves or working in damp gardens if you have mold allergies.
Yes, mold spores like Cladosporium peak in humid and rainy seasons but can persist year-round indoors. Monitoring mold spore counts and taking antihistamines or nasal sprays during peak seasons can help manage symptoms.
