    During extended periods of drought the mold count in the air can sometimes be very high. How is this possible?

    Question #128132. Asked by unclerick. (Nov 30 12 2:49 PM)

    Many common allergenic molds are of the dry spore type-they release their spores during dry, windy weather. Other fungi need high humidity, fog, or dew to release their spores. Although rain washes many larger spores out of the air, it also causes some smaller spores to be propelled into the air. http://weather.weatherbug.com/allergy/mold-allergy.html
