office allergies

[treyone]

This is the second time where my allergies were activated in my office. I cannot breath, my throat itches, and lots of sneezing.

Please tell me what may be causing this reaction, as I have one  air vent in my office and one non-operating window .

Thanks

Hi,
Mold is a fungus  thrives in warm, moist environments. Potential moldy places include tubs, shower stalls, air conditioners, humidifiers, garbage cans, mattresses, and upholstered furniture.
The best treatment for mold allergies is avoiding mold in the first place. But if you live in a place where mold is unavoidable, your doctor can offer additional help. You may need an antihistamine medication to control your symptoms. In severe cases, your doctor may prescribe a series of allergy shots to help reduce your sensitivity to mold.
There are also extra steps you can take to keep mold under control.If you live in a humid climate, use an air conditioner or a dehumidifier to keep the humidity at no more than 50 percent.
