What are fungi?
Fungi are organisms belonging to the plant kingdom Tallophites order (along with algae and lichens). They reproduce through spores of a sexual or not, a distinction used in their classification. The most significant feature of fungi is the lack of chlorophyll, so they need a source of nutrition and manufactured organic compounds, behaving as saprophytes when they feed on decaying organic matter or as parasites when they settle on living organisms rather than plant or animals.

The fungi can colonize organic substrates inside and outside homes, in this case involved primarily in agricultural and livestock activities. The most important species belong to the family allergolical Deuteromicetae, but increasingly have to take more account of other families.

How can you identify mushrooms?
We can now determine the prevalence of fungi in the environment through different methods. First, it may be useful to direct microscopic counting dust samples for viewing hyphae and spores. Secondly available culture methods for growth and identification of fungi. Finally, there are effective volumetric collectors when the number of spores is important. Read the rest of this entry »

Allergies can happen to anyone, from babies to old people. Allergy caused by too much body responds to the environment or materials that are considered foreign by the body and harmful (autoimmune). Allergens can occur due to genetic factors and environmental influences.

To confirm what we are exposed to allergy, tests can be done immunoglobulin E levels (IgE) that play a role in the formation of an allergic reaction. If allergies reactions occur in the skin surface, such as hives, itching, swollen, reddish skin examination should do tests to determine type of allergy.

Materials trigger of allergies very much, such as cow’s milk, seafood (shrimp, crab, squid, etc.), soy, nuts, air, dust, metals, insects, cold weather, sunlight, ice (food / beverage), hot weather, animal hair, carpet, leftovers, mushrooms, sound, smoke, rubber, synthetic materials, humidity, etc.. Even sometimes we are not aware of our allergies reply caused by things that are not thought about before
