10 Black Mold Symptoms
Symptom #6: Red and Itchy Eyes
The eyes are extremely sensitive, but they are well protected against possible trauma and microbes that could do a great deal of damage. If pathogens come into contact with the eyes, then the body reacts to remove them. Rubbing the eyes helps remove pathogens, so the eyes become itchy to encourage a rubbing action.
The irritation will also cause them to become red, and the eyes will likely secrete excess fluid to help flush the pathogen out.
