Allergies and Asthma. Breathing in too much mold or mildew can cause allergies. In severe cases, it can also contribute to the development of asthma. These conditions can cause watery and itchy eyes, sneezing, coughing, nausea, fatigue, headaches and trouble breathing. Asthma or prior allergies before exposure can make these symptoms worse.
A rare inflammatory lung disease called hypersensitivity pneumonitis. can also be caused by mold exposure. Symptoms include cough, difficulty breathing and fever. People usually develop this condition after mold exposure at work, but it can result from home exposure as well, Dr. Ibrahim says.
