Could dark spots near AC be mold affecting allergies?

Absolutely, those pesky dark spots could very well be mold. Mold is pretty common in our climate and can easily thrive in the warm, humid conditions of Dubai. The presence of dampness or condensation from your air conditioning system can provide a perfect environment for these little critters to grow.

Now, regarding your concerns about your daughter's allergies - it’s not uncommon for molds to exacerbate allergy symptoms like sneezing, runny nose, and in some cases, even more severe reactions. It’s important to address this promptly.

First things first: don't panic! Mold can be controlled and managed with the right steps. However, I would recommend having a professional environmental inspection done. In Dubai, there are specific regulations concerning indoor air quality that we must adhere to, so it's best to ensure you're following all guidelines correctly.

Saniservice is a local company known for their expertise in this area. You can give them a call at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com if you want a professional opinion on the matter. They’ll be able to conduct a thorough analysis and provide a remediation plan, if necessary.

In the meantime, here are some practical steps you can take:
1. Ensure your AC unit is well-maintained. Regular cleaning and servicing by a certified technician could help prevent mold growth.
2. Increase ventilation in the bedroom. Open windows (if possible) or use an exhaust fan to keep air circulating.
3. Use HEPA filters in your HVAC system, which can trap allergens like mold spores more effectively.

Remember, while these steps might help alleviate some symptoms, they are not a substitute for professional advice and treatment from a medical practitioner if your daughter's allergies persist or worsen.

Stay proactive, and take care of your home environment. Your health is paramount!
