Burke and surrounding counties are experiencing more than the usual amount of mold related allergy problems due to the extreme wet conditions this year.
"Mold spores thrive year round and can survive at subfreezing temperatures," said Elzie F. Hart, MD, an ear, nose and throat specialist, at Blue Ridge ENT, Allergy and Facial Plastic Surgery, located at 352B East Parker Road. "They are found wherever there is moisture, oxygen and high humidity."
Mold is found on logs, fallen leaves, compost piles, grasses and weeds, especially in shady areas. Some forms of mold attach themselves to grains such as wheat, corn, oats and barley. The "hot spots" for mold growth occur in damp basements, building and closets, bathrooms, refrigerator drip trays, houseplants, air conditioners, humidifiers, garbage cans, lockers, books, upholstered furniture, carpet.
