What does it mean to become hypersensitive to mold?
Hypersensitivity to mold occurs when the immune system is overwhelmed with a mold exposure and it begins to react in an almost allergic manner to small amounts of molds that formerly would not have had this impact. The reaction may take various forms - it can trigger anything from a small response (such as sneezing and wheezing, to a major response, (such as seizures and anacephalic shock). It is similar to the sensitivity that a susceptible person develops to bee stings over a period of time: each exposure is far more serious.
