Case in point: Did you know that a sinus infection may not be quite what it seems? That&#8217;s right. Research conducted by the Mayo Clinic has found that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/columns\/eric-cohen-breathe-well-sleep-well\/is-mold-causing-your-sinus-problems\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">chronic sinus infections <\/a>were caused by exposure to mold in 9 out of 10 cases! These findings have differed from as little as 20 years ago when physicians believed that virtually all sinus infections were caused by either a virus or a bacteria.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home and Work<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/blog\/2017\/05\/24\/nyc-parents-be-on-the-watch-for-black-mold-exposure-symptoms-in-infants\/\" target=\"_self\">home and work environments<\/a> were the cause for these findings, as being exposed in either place was enough to both cause a sinus infection and prevent it from going away. And when you think about it, a warm dark and moist place, exactly like inside of your nose, is a perfect breeding place for mold.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the Difference?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A genuine sinus infection and a mold-borne sinus infection are very similar. Headaches, congestion, discolored discharge and pressure in your sinus area are all symptoms of a genuine sinus infection and they are the same symptoms of a fungal sinus infection.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Treatment <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Since antibiotics do not affect fungal sinusitis, non-invasive surgery may be required to kill the mold in your sinus cavity. A simple probe is inserted into your nostrils and the treatment is highly effective.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any questions about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/free-mold-treatment-quote.php\" target=\"_self\">mold infestation<\/a>, what to do to keep mold at bay, or if you would like a free mold inspection, contact <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sternmold.com\/about-stern-mold.php\" target=\"_self\">Stern Mold<\/a>.
