I am indeed allergic to mold! But I've never noticed any symptoms. The incident that caused me to get tested by an allergist was a slight itch in my throat after eating some mac and cheese I made. But there wasn't any aged cheese and aged cheese hasn't given my cause for concern before. I later felt that same itch eating pre-cubed grocery store cheddar. They add cellulose to those packages, which I'm guessing could be too blame.

Most cheeses contain mold: https://www.bonappetit.com/story/is-moldy-cheese-okay https://www.bonappetit.com/story/is-moldy-cheese-okay Only fresh cheese don't, such as cream cheese, mozzarella, and queso fresco. One last tip that might help you if mold is your problem: I find that I have to scrub my faucets clean about once a week with an old toothbrush. I'm sensitive enough that a bit of mold in my drinking water can cause a coughing fit. (But I also live in a pretty humid place where mold grows easily.)
