Snow Mold: A Hidden Allergy

Snow mold, its effects and how to protect yourself from mold allergy symptoms

It is easy to believe allergies become dormant in winter. There are no flowers, the trees are dead and spring cleaning has yet to happen. What many people don't know is that underneath all that snow, when late winter begins, is mold. Slowly melting, the unlit grass below, already dead, becomes overly hydrated and frozen. When spring finally arrives, these areas of grass, have become breeding grounds for mold. Sopping wet, cold and malnourished after having not seen sun in some time, the mold has generated and festered, waiting to be exposed wherein it will be inhaled.

Snow mold presents in different varieties –gray snow mold and pink snow mold. Pink snow mold is the most severe as it goes into the roots of grass, making it quite difficult to eradicate. Gray snow is more topical but still aggravating for persons with allergies. 

These types of dormant situations are dangerous for those with mold allergies, past sufferers of bronchial infections, and persons with asthma. According to the Mayo Clinic, breathing in mold can trigger a "cascade of reactions that lead to allergic symptoms…the best defense is to reduce your exposure." Mold exposure can lead to the traditional symptoms of other allergies such as wheezing, rash, watery eyes, runny nose, and coughing. 

Wearing the proper personal protective equipment and/or obtaining an allergen air purifier is imperative in considering your allergies in cases such as these.
