I accidentally touched my nose when working with sordaria in genetics lab. i did not worry at that time, but since then i'm having constant congestion?

Allergies?: Sordaria is not a common cause of infection in healthy humans. If you have a problem with your immune system, like HIV or are on steroids or treatment for cancer, it may (or may not) be a problem.Try an antihistamine like diphenhydramine and if the itchy nose goes away then your symptoms are due to an allergy. Whether the allergy is due to the fungus or not, is hard to say. See doc.
