By Mayo Clinic staffTo keep mold allergy symptoms at bay, take these measures:
- Sleep with your windows closed to keep out outdoor mold. The concentration of airborne mold spores is greatest at night, when the weather is cool and damp.
- If you must rake leaves, mow your lawn or work around compost, consider wearing a dust mask over your nose and mouth to keep mold spores out.
- Don't go outdoors immediately after a rainstorm, or in foggy or damp weather, or when the published mold count is high.
