Environmental allergies are the response of the body toward inhaled substances. Animal dander, dust, mildew, mold spores or feathers can cause these allergies. The dust and mold allergies will differ from pollen allergies as they are going to cause problems throughout the year and not just for specific seasons.
Many health specialists and doctors today are uncertain about the exact cause of susceptibility to allergies. These allergies are often passed on from one generation to the next or can skip generations. Many of them think that these allergies are developed in the womb when babies are exposed to certain chemicals, substances and food through their mother.
