What is the difference between an infection cause by fungus and an allergy caused by fungus?

An infection caused by fungus, known as a fungal infection, occurs when pathogenic fungi invade and multiply in the body, leading to symptoms like inflammation and tissue damage. In contrast, an allergy caused by fungus is an immune response to fungal spores or proteins, resulting in symptoms like sneezing, itching, or respiratory issues without the presence of active infection. While infections require antifungal treatment, Allergies are typically managed with antihistamines or avoiding exposure to the allergen.
