3. Worsening asthma
As we mentioned earlier, asthma patients are at a higher risk of being adversely affected by aspergillus mold. This is due to the fact that their respiratory system isn’t at peak efficiency and thus is more vulnerable to pathogens. One of the symptoms of aspergillus exposure as it enters the respiratory system is worsening asthma, but if the patient already has asthma they might not think much of it.
However, if these asthma attacks continue to worsen even after administering treatment then the patient should get themselves checked at the nearest hospital to see if the issue is being caused by aspergillus. The best way to combat aspergillus and the adverse effects that come with it is by diagnosing the problem early on than treating it promptly. Furthermore, if the patient doesn’t have asthma but experiences these attacks then the likelihood of aspergillus exposure is high.
