Respiratory Distress
An individual with Chaetomium allergy may experience symptoms such as difficulty in breathing, wheezing and coughing. These symptoms are caused by the allergic reaction inflaming the airways and making it difficult for air to pass to the lungs.
Skin Rashes
People allergic to Chaetomium may develop skin rashes. These rashes can take various forms and they can be accompanied by itching and redness. Depending on the response of the individual's immune system, these rashes may be localized or spread over large parts of the body.
Eye Irritation
Exposure to Chaetomium can result in eye irritation, leading to symptoms such as watery eyes, red eyes, itchiness, and swollen eyelids. These symptoms are caused by the overreaction of the immune system to the Chaetomium.
Nasal Congestion
Nasal congestion is another common symptom of Chaetomium allergy. This is caused by the inflammation and swelling of the nasal passages, making it difficult for air to pass through. In many cases, this can lead to a runny or stuffy nose, and even sinus pressure.
Fatigue
As the body fights off the allergens, it can lead to feelings of fatigue. This occurs because the immune system is working overtime to fight off the perceived threat, thereby using up the body's energy resources.
Migraines
Chaetomium allergic reactions can trigger migraines in some individuals. These severe headaches can cause throbbing or pulsing pain, frequently on one side of the head and can be accompanied by nausea, vomiting, and extreme sensitivity to light and sound.
