If you have allergies, just a little swelling will occur where the allergen was introduced. Reactions occur within about 15 minutes.
Avatar m tn 1) Is asp/pencili only an allergen? It doesn’t cause other damage?; 2) Hubby feels we can’t see or smell the mold and that the spore levels of 264 (after air purifying BTW) are so low they should not be the cause of my symptoms.
