Rhizopus allergy often presents itself as nasal congestion. Patients may have the feeling of a 'stuffy nose', difficulty in breathing, and experience obstruction in nasal passages caused by inflamed tissues and an abundance of mucus.
Due to sensitivity to Rhizopus, some patients may encounter severe respiratory distress. It can include shortness of breath and breathlessness, high-pitched breathing, or a feeling of tightness in the chest.
Skin reactions are common in Rhizopus allergies. Patients might observe red spots, inflammation, and itchiness of skin. Bumps, hives, or swelling may also occur on the skin.
Abdominal pain is another symptom of Rhizopus allergy. This discomfort can range from mild to severe. It usually presents as an ache in the belly area, and can also manifest in the form of bloating or cramps.
Patient may experience watery or teary eyes. This occurs when the body's immune system reacts to the fungus, leading to eye irritation and the production of excess tears.
Rhizopus allergy may lead to sinusitis, an inflammation, or swelling, of the tissue lining the sinuses. This could potentially lead to headache, facial pain, nasal congestion and reduction in the sense of smell.

One of the best ways to prevent Rhizopus allergies is by regularly cleaning your house, especially damp areas such as the basement and bathroom. This fungus thrives in moist environments, making frequent and thorough cleaning a necessity. Regular vacuuming can help to remove any spores that may have settled on your carpets or upholstery.
Rhizopus fungus thrives in humid conditions. Thus, maintaining a low indoor humidity can greatly help in preventing their growth. Using dehumidifiers in damp rooms or areas that are susceptible to high humidity can keep the levels under control and create an undesirable habitat for the fungus to grow.
One method for avoiding Rhizopus allergy is to regularly check for and repair leaks in your home promptly. Water leaks from broken pipes or tap can create the damp conditions Rhizopus requires to thrive. Addressing these issues swiftly can prevent the growth of this fungus.
Rhizopus is a common mold that can grow on food, particularly on fruits and bread. Therefore, proper food storage is an essential aspect of preventing Rhizopus allergies. Always store food items in airtight containers and refrigerate them as required. Also, regularly checking and discarding spoiled food items can prevent mold growth and the subsequent spread of spores.
