What type of respiratory risk is increased by mold exposure in damp environments?

Asthma
Allergic reactions
Both A and B
Nausea

The correct answer is: Both A and B

Exposure to mold in damp environments can significantly increase both asthma symptoms and allergic reactions due to the production of spores, mycotoxins, and other substances that can trigger these conditions. Individuals who are already predisposed to asthma may find that the presence of mold exacerbates their condition, leading to increased inflammation and constriction of the airways, which can result in difficulty breathing, wheezing, and other asthma-related symptoms. Allergic reactions are also a common response to mold exposure, as mold spores can act as allergens, prompting the immune system to react. This can lead to symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and skin rashes. Given that both conditions are consistently linked to mold exposure in damp environments, the choice indicating that both asthma and allergic reactions are increased risks highlights the dual impact of mold on respiratory health.
