Reduce the Mold

• By reducing the source of the problem, this may be the main cure for some people. If you have walls that are showing signs of mold, wash them down and dry the wall completely. Get rid of old books, magazines, clothes and shoes that are no longer in use.
  
  Buy a dehumidifier and use it in the basement or anywhere else to help eliminate the moisture that causes mold. Use cooking utensils that do not hold on to moisture and make sure that all vents to the dryer and your kitchen range are directed to the outside. Always use the cooking range vent while cooking. Use borax in your washing machine to help reduce the chance of mold and moisture. Never store any article of clothing in a drawer if still slightly damp.
  
  

Filter the Air

• Replace the filter often. Every six months is sufficient and will help reduce the allergens. You can also buy filters that are designed to free airborne allergens in the air. You will want a filter such as HEPA that has carbon block that helps catch the gases that can trigger mold.
  
  Any good quality filters that you can buy that capture the mold in the air will help with your symptoms. There are also electrostatic precipitators for your home as well that will help, but they do need constant care and cleaning.
  
  

Medical Treatment

• If you have a mild case, usually medical treatment is not needed. A little work on your home may solve the problem. For people with asthma problems, corticosteroids may be given to prevent symptoms from getting worse. Oral anti-fungal medications are given to people who have the invasive pulmonary aspergillosis type mold and for people who suffer from Aspergilloma fungus may require surgery to remove the mold damage.
  
  If you are unsure of what type of mold illness you have, seek professional help with a trusted doctor so he can determine what type of treatment is necessary. There are different symptoms and different stages of complications with the various types of mold. The best way to eliminate any more problems is by first taking the proper steps in getting rid of the source from your home.
