Initial Consultation
We begin with a thorough discussion about your concerns, health issues, and any suspected areas of mold growth. This helps us develop a targeted testing approach for your specific situation.
Mycotoxins are invisible toxins produced by certain molds that can cause serious health problems. Our specialized testing identifies these harmful compounds to help you create a healthier home environment.
Complete assessment including specialized mycotoxin detection, lab analysis, and expert interpretation of results
Mycotoxins are toxic compounds naturally produced by certain types of mold (fungi). The term “mycotoxin” combines the Greek word for fungus “mykes” with the Latin word “toxicum” meaning poison.
Even after professional mold removal and clearance testing, mycotoxins can remain in your home, continuing to affect your health. This is why specific mycotoxin testing is crucial, especially if you’re experiencing persistent health issues.
Research by Dr. Ritchie Shoemaker has shown that approximately 25% of the population carries a genetic predisposition that makes them particularly sensitive to mold and the mycotoxins they produce. If you or a family member seems to be affected more severely by mold exposure, this genetic factor may be involved.
Our specialized testing can identify the presence of up to 15 different types of mycotoxins in your home environment, providing crucial information for addressing health concerns and ensuring your living space is truly safe.
Mycotoxins can affect various body systems, often causing symptoms that may be misdiagnosed as other conditions. Here are some common health impacts:
Headaches, difficulty concentrating, memory problems, brain fog, dizziness, and in some cases, neurological damage.
Coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, throat irritation, and worsening of asthma or allergies.
Increased susceptibility to infections, chronic fatigue, and auto-immune responses.
Nausea, abdominal pain, changes in appetite, and gastrointestinal discomfort.
Itchy or watery eyes, skin rashes, irritation, and heightened sensitivity.
Increased susceptibility to infections, chronic fatigue, and auto-immune responses.
We follow a systematic approach to ensure accurate detection and analysis of mycotoxins in your home environment.
We begin with a thorough discussion about your concerns, health issues, and any suspected areas of mold growth. This helps us develop a targeted testing approach for your specific situation.
Our certified professionals conduct a comprehensive visual inspection of your property, identifying potential sources of moisture and mold growth that could be producing mycotoxins.
We collect surface and dust samples from strategic locations throughout your home, focusing on areas where mycotoxins are likely to accumulate. This may include air handling systems, settled dust, and previously affected areas.
Samples are sent to specialized laboratories that use advanced techniques like ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay) and LC/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) to identify specific mycotoxins and their concentrations.
You receive a detailed report identifying the types and levels of mycotoxins present, with clear explanations of what the results mean for your health and living environment.
Based on the test results, we provide specific recommendations for remediation, cleaning protocols, and preventive measures to create a healthier home environment and reduce mycotoxin exposure.
Our comprehensive environmental testing identifies mycotoxins present in your home or workplace through dust and surface samples. This testing is especially valuable following mold remediation to ensure all toxic compounds have been successfully removed, even if visible mold is gone.
Our most thorough service combines traditional mold testing with specialized mycotoxin analysis. This provides a complete picture of your indoor environment, identifying both active mold growth and any resulting mycotoxins that may be affecting your health.
If you’ve already had testing done or are experiencing health issues you suspect may be related to mycotoxin exposure, our experts can provide a personalized consultation. We’ll help interpret your test results and recommend appropriate next steps.
