9 Conditions With Similar Symptoms to Mold Exposure

Why This Was Updated?

Our specialists regularly review advancements in health and wellness, ensuring our articles are updated with the newest information as it becomes accessible.
Medically Reviewed by

Mold exposure occurs when individuals inhale or come into contact with mold spores, tiny particles that can grow in damp or water-damaged environments. These spores often thrive in basements, bathrooms, or any space with moisture problems.

Common symptoms associated with mold exposure include respiratory issues such as coughing, sneezing, and shortness of breath, as well as more systemic symptoms like fatigue, headaches, skin irritation, and cognitive problems like brain fog.

One of the biggest challenges in diagnosing mold exposure is that symptoms overlap with other health conditions. Symptoms like fatigue, respiratory problems, headaches, and migraines are common in various medical issues, making pinpointing mold as the root cause challenging. 

This can lead to misdiagnosis or delays in treatment, which is why it's important to have a deeper understanding of how mold exposure manifests and how it can be differentiated from other conditions. In this article, we’ll discuss conditions that appear similar to mold exposure to clarify the diagnosis and treatment process. The goal is to help people struggling with overwhelming and confusing symptoms of mold exposure feel better faster.

Common Symptoms of Mold Exposure

Common symptoms of mold exposure are systemic, meaning they can appear in different body parts or systems, and relatively vague, so they can be easily misinterpreted as having a different cause. 

Overview of Mold Exposure Symptoms

Mold exposure can cause a wide range of symptoms that can affect various systems in the body. Allergic reactions are most common, although mold toxicity can cause other symptoms as well.

The most common symptoms include:

Allergic symptoms:

  • Asthma (wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath)
  • Hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP) (fever, chills, shortness of breath, fatigue)
  • Sinusitis (nasal congestion, facial pain, headache)
  • Persistent cough and wheezing in children living in damp homes

Infections:

  • Superficial fungal infections (e.g., ringworm, nail fungus, thrush)
  • Invasive fungal infections (primarily in immunocompromised individuals)

Toxic Effects (From Mycotoxins):

These are rare but may include specific illness patterns when ingested in large quantities (not common from inhalation). While specific symptoms may vary according to the mycotoxin involved, overall patterns can include respiratory, neurological, gastrointestinal, and dermatological symptoms, as well as liver and kidney damage and cancer. 

Irritant Effects:

  • Eye irritation (redness, itchiness, watery eyes)
  • Upper and lower respiratory tract irritation (sore throat, coughing, sneezing)
  • Transient respiratory symptoms (due to exposure to mold particulates or airborne organic compounds)

Other systemic symptoms of mold toxicity have also been reported:

  • Emotional disturbances
  • Muscle aches
  • Neurological symptoms (such as movement difficulties, balance issues, delirium, and potential neurodegenerative diseases like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson’s)
  • Gastrointestinal symptoms (inflammation, necrosis, intestinal barrier dysfunction, and colitis exacerbation)
  • Skin reactions (associated with hypersensitivity or allergic reactions)

The Challenge of Diagnosing Mold-Related Illness

Diagnosing mold exposure can be tricky because the symptoms are not specific to mold alone. 

Many people with pre-existing conditions like allergies, asthma, or chronic fatigue may experience worsened symptoms in a moldy environment, making it hard to distinguish between them. Additionally, prolonged exposure can lead to more severe health issues, making the diagnosis even more challenging.

Conditions with Similar Symptoms to Mold Exposure

Many conditions have overlapping symptoms with mold exposure. As we discuss these, it’s important to remember that while some may present with symptoms in only one or two body systems, mold exposure symptoms can manifest in many body systems.

Allergies

Common Symptoms: sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes, sinus congestion.

How it Overlaps: Both mold illness and allergies can involve IgE-mediated sensitization, which triggers respiratory symptoms like sneezing and congestion, also common in seasonal or environmental allergies. 

Key Differences: Allergies are typically triggered by environmental allergens like pollen, dust mites, or pet dander, whereas mold exposure symptoms are more likely to worsen in damp or water-damaged environments.

Asthma

Common Symptoms: Wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, chest tightness.

How it Overlaps: Mold exposure can exacerbate asthma or trigger asthma-like symptoms, especially in those with pre-existing asthma.

Key Differences: Asthma can be triggered by a variety of factors including cold air or physical activity, not just mold. Mold exposure tends to specifically worsen in environments with moisture.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)

Common Symptoms: Common symptoms include fatigue, cognitive problems, headaches, muscle aches, flu-like symptoms, gastrointestinal issues, and neurological symptoms.

How It Overlaps: both CFS and mold exposure share symptoms like extreme fatigue and cognitive difficulties. Mold exposure may be one cause of CFS; in one study, 93% of participants had at least one mycotoxin present. Another study demonstrated similar findings, with 92% of CFS testing positive for mycotoxins in urine.

Key Differences: CFS is typically diagnosed when fatigue persists for six months or more without a clear cause, and it does not usually involve respiratory symptoms, which are more common in mold exposure.

Sinus Infections

Common Symptoms: Common symptoms include nasal congestion, sinus pressure (especially in the cheeks, forehead, and between the eyes), postnasal drip or runny nose, sinus headaches, fever, decreased sense of smell, and foul odors (like burning or rotting that others can't smell). 

How It Overlaps: Mold exposure and sinus infections can both cause sinus pressure, headaches, and nasal congestion. In fact, sinus issues are some of the most common complaints in individuals exposed to mold. Some molds and fungi can form biofilms, which are resistant to treatment and may explain persistent symptoms. The sinuses may act as an internal reservoir of mold toxins.

Key Differences: Sinus infections are usually caused by bacterial infections and may resolve with antibiotics. In contrast, mold-related symptoms often persist as long as the person remains in a moldy environment, and respond to antifungal treatments.

Lyme Disease

Common Symptoms: These include fatigue, muscle and joint pain, headaches, skin rashes, and cognitive issues.

How It Overlaps: Lyme disease and mold exposure both involve symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, and muscle and joint pain, making it difficult to differentiate between the two without a detailed medical history.

Key Differences: Lyme disease is caused by a tick-borne infection and often involves a history of tick exposure or the appearance of a characteristic bulls-eye rash. 

Mold exposure symptoms tend to intensify in damp environments, whereas Lyme disease typically worsens over time without treatment.

The rash seen in mold exposure typically appears as a dermatitis, rather than a bulls-eye rash.

Fibromyalgia

Common Symptoms: Widespread muscle pain, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, and cognitive disturbances (often referred to as "fibro fog").

How It Overlaps: Mold exposure can lead to systemic symptoms that overlap with fibromyalgia, including muscle aches, fatigue, difficulty concentrating and poor sleep. This overlap can sometimes lead to confusion in diagnosis.

Key Differences: Fibromyalgia is a chronic pain syndrome with no clear environmental trigger, while mold exposure symptoms are directly linked to the presence of mold in the environment. Fibromyalgia also tends to involve more generalized, long-term pain.

Understanding the different mechanisms behind sleep difficulty may help to clarify the different processes behind mold toxicity and fibromyalgia.

Sleep problems in mold toxicity may be due to complex neuroendocrine and inflammatory changes seen in the condition, and/or exacerbations of asthma or allergic symptoms that affect nighttime breathing. 

Sleep disturbances in fibromyalgia are caused by changes in the brain and central nervous system that include  dysregulation of neurotransmitters like serotonin and norepinephrine, elevated excitatory chemicals such as substance P and glutamate, and disruptions in the body's pain-processing pathways. 

These factors in fibromyalgia prevent deep, restorative sleep, leading to unrefreshing sleep despite long sleep durations.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

Common Symptoms: Chronic cough, shortness of breath, chest tightness, wheezing.

How It Overlaps: Both COPD and mold exposure affect respiratory function. Persistent coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath can be seen in both conditions.

Key Differences: COPD is most commonly caused by long-term exposure to lung irritants such as smoking or industrial chemicals, whereas mold exposure is usually linked to damp indoor environments. 

COPD symptoms are often more severe and persistent compared to the potentially reversible symptoms of mold exposure when the source is removed.

Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS)

Common Symptoms: Cognitive issues, headaches, dizziness, respiratory issues, fatigue, brain fog.

How It Overlaps: Mold exposure and MCS involve heightened sensitivity to environmental factors, leading to respiratory issues, headaches, and cognitive disturbances. Long-term mold exposure may also lead to MCS.

Key Differences: MCS is triggered by exposure to chemicals like perfumes, cleaning products, or pesticides, while mold exposure is specifically related to fungal growth.  People with MCS may react to a wide range of chemicals, whereas mold exposure symptoms tend to be more specific to damp, moldy environments.

Anxiety and Stress

Common Symptoms: Mood swings, fatigue, headaches, shortness of breath, sleep disturbances, irritability.

How It Overlaps: Stress and anxiety can exacerbate symptoms like headaches, fatigue, and shortness of breath, which are also common in mold exposure. Some individuals with anxiety may even report feeling more fatigued or having difficulty breathing in certain environments.

Mold exposure can cause cognitive impairment and psychological symptoms; patients with mood swings that are not well-managed with routine therapies should consider mold testing.

Key Differences: Anxiety-related symptoms typically worsen during stressful periods or life changes, rather than in specific environmental settings like mold exposure. Additionally, anxiety does not cause the systemic inflammation that mold exposure can lead to.

How to Differentiate Between Mold Exposure and Other Conditions

One of the most important ways to differentiate mold exposure from other conditions is to identify whether symptoms are influenced by environmental factors. Symptoms of mold exposure often worsen in damp environments or buildings with water damage, such as basements, bathrooms, or areas with poor ventilation. 

If you notice that your symptoms flare up in these settings and improve when you leave, it’s a strong indicator that mold could be the culprit. 

In contrast, conditions like asthma or allergies may be triggered by multiple factors unrelated to location, such as pollen, exercise, or pet dander.

Symptom Duration and Progression

Another key difference lies in how symptoms evolve over time. 

Mold exposure often causes symptoms that improve when the person leaves the mold-infested environment. If you feel better when you're away from your home or workplace and worse when you return, this could be a sign of mold-related illness. 

Instead, chronic conditions tend to persist regardless of where you are. For example, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are typically not location-dependent and may cause ongoing symptoms no matter where you are.

Testing and Diagnosis

To determine whether mold exposure is the cause of your symptoms or if another condition is at play, a range of diagnostic tests may be useful:

Allergy Testing: Clinicians can use skin or blood tests to rule out common allergies to pollen, dust mites, pets, or other environmental allergens. These tests help to distinguish between seasonal or environmental allergies and mold sensitivity.

Mold Testing: Mold-specific environmental tests can be conducted to check for the presence of mold in your living or workspace. Additionally, testing for mycotoxins—mold-produced toxins—can be performed on urine or blood samples to detect if your body is reacting to mold exposure.

Other Diagnostic Tests: Depending on your symptoms, healthcare providers may recommend blood tests, imaging (like chest X-rays or CT scans), cultures or biopsies to rule out infections, chronic diseases, or underlying medical conditions such as sinus infections, COPD, or Lyme disease.

When to See a Doctor

Symptoms of mold toxicity in sensitive people do not resolve on their own. If you or someone you know has been living with the symptoms we’ve discussed here, it is recommended that you consult with a healthcare provider. 

Recognizing the Need for Medical Attention

If you experience persistent or worsening symptoms including respiratory issues (like chronic coughing, wheezing, or shortness of breath), severe fatigue, unexplained headaches, or skin rashes that don’t seem to improve, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider. 

Some red flags that warrant medical attention include:

  • Chronic fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest or lifestyle changes
  • Skin rashes or irritation that flare up in specific environments, like your home or workplace
  • Symptoms that worsen after spending time in water-damaged or damp areas

Importance of Environmental History

When visiting your healthcare provider, it’s essential to discuss your environmental history, including any potential mold exposure. 

Many clinicians may not immediately consider environmental factors, so bringing up any mold concerns is vital to guide testing and diagnosis. If you’ve noticed that your symptoms worsen in specific locations such as your home or workplace, or improve when you leave these areas, make sure to mention it. 

This can help your provider consider mold-related illness and order appropriate tests or investigations.
