One of the major symptoms of Serpula allergy is respiratory issues like difficulty breathing, cough, and tightness in the chest. The fungal spores can irritate the airway when inhaled, leading to these symptoms. If left untreated, it can potentially cause more serious respiratory conditions.
When exposed to Serpula, individuals often experience skin rashes or dermatitis. The skin might become red, inflamed, itchy, and may develop blisters. This is caused by the body's allergic reaction to the mold spores.
Eye irritation is common with Serpula allergy. Individuals may suffer from red, itchy, and watering eyes as the fine spores from the fungus can easily enter the eyes and cause an allergic reaction.
The spores can cause an allergic reaction in the nasal passage, leading to symptoms like runny nose, sneezing, and stuffiness. In some cases, it can also cause sinusitis, a condition leading to headaches and facial pain.
Throat irritation can manifest as a sore, scratching, or itchy throat. As the spores are inhaled, they can cause irritation and discomfort in the throat, which can lead to pain or difficulty swallowing.
Chronic exposure to Serpula can lead to persistent fatigue, feelings of weakness, and lethargy. This is due to the body's immune system constantly fighting against the allergens, which can be exhausting over time.
Recognize your symptoms?
In order to recognize if you have an allergy to Serpula (a genus of wood-decay fungi), you need to understand the typical symptoms of mold and fungal allergies, along with exposure to environments where Serpula might be growing. Here's a detailed process to guide you.
Identify Symptom of Mold & Fungus Allergies
Consider Your Environment
Consult a Healthcare Professional
Should you be consistently experiencing these symptoms and suspecting that it's due to a Serpula allergy, it's recommended to consult a healthcare professional. They can conduct specific tests, like skin prick test or radioallergosorbent (RAST) test, to accurately diagnose whether you indeed have a Serpula allergy or not.

Serpula, often referred to as "water mold," thrives in damp, humid environments. To minimize potential exposure, try to avoid or limit your time in high moisture areas, such as damp basements or poorly ventilated bathrooms, where this mold may flourish.
Regular inspections of your living or work space can help to identify potential Serpula growth before it becomes an issue. Pay special attention to spaces where water may accumulate, such as behind appliances, under sinks, and in the corners of bathrooms, as these are places where mold often grows.
Proper cleaning and maintenance of your home or workspace is vital in preventing the build-up of Serpula. Regular cleaning with anti-mold agents, especially in damp spaces like kitchens and bathrooms, can help to remove mold spores before they have a chance to grow and spread.
Using air purifiers that come with HEPA filters can help to cleanse the air of mold spores, significantly reducing the chances of a Serpula allergy. Remember to regularly clean or replace the filters to ensure they continue to work effectively.
