Managing Mold & Milk Allergies: Practical Prevention Strategies

If you suffer from allergies, you probably feel miserable, with constant sneezing and red, itchy eyes, or hives. If your allergies are triggered by mold spores or a milk intolerance, there are steps you can take to avoid being close to those triggers.

Instructions

• 1

  Avoid food products that contain both fungi and milk, such as cheese, sour cream, buttermilk or some deli meats.

• 2

  Read labels on food cartons to ensure there are no milk products in them.

• 3

  Try using soy products instead. It may be easier on your stomach. The chocolate and vanilla soy milks taste delicious.

• 4

  Reduce the humidity to around 40 degrees in your house, making sure your house is well ventilated and that air is circulating.

• 5

  Wear a mask if you must cut your own grass and weeds to prevent mold spores from flying into your face.

• 6

  Buy a dehumidifier to control indoor moisture so your rooms don't smell moldy and musty.
