Abstract
Across two climatically distinct cities, household mold exposure was significantly associated with an increased risk for asthma and allergies. Younger children and children from the suburbs were more likely to be affected by mold. Whether breastfeeding enhanced or weakened the mold effects were inconsistent across the cities and across the health outcomes.
