Abstract
Mold spores are a known trigger for allergic rhinitis and asthma. Environmental exposures may correlate with symptoms in sensitized patients. We propose the question: does proximity to large mold sources outside the home increase sensitization to mold? Investigating the role of mushroom farm exposure as a potential trigger for mold sensitization may provide useful information when counseling patients and their families regarding environmental avoidance measures. We speculate that closer proximity to mushroom farms in Kennett Square, PA increases the likelihood of mold sensitization in pediatric patients.
