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.
