Yes, they can. This is a common allergy, present in 5 to 10% of the population.
Mulch is comprised of composted wood chips. When this wood is subjected to moisture (rain) and heat (sunlight), it is a breeding ground for spore-producing fungi. There are many documented cases of people being allergic to these spores.
Antihistamines can help reduce a reaction (which is usually congestion and itchy skin). However, the best way to deal with these Allergies is to reduce exposure to the spores (through use of a pollen mask, rubber gloves, and long clothing). Avoid getting your face and bare skin near to the mulch. Do not breathe the dust if you are working with or around the mulch.

Right lower chest pain?
It could be a pulled muscle, or if you have any medical conditions then it could be that. Or it could be an allergic reaction to something. I used breath spray that had propolis in it then i saw the 'this product contains propolis which may cause an allergic reaction' label, I looked it up. Turns out it could give you an allergic reaction if you have asthma, bee stings, bee pollen, or if your pregnant. I think you should just look at the ingredients of what your eating if you think its an allergic reaction. You could see a doctor too.
