Laboratory Tests for Exposure to
Toxigenic Molds
Exposure to certain types of airborne molds and their spores can
cause allergic reactions, episodes of asthma, and other respiratory
complications in individuals who are genetically or immunologically
predisposed. Greater impacts on health may occur when individuals
are exposed to large doses of the chemicals produced by molds. These
are more commonly known as mycotoxins.
Prolonged and intense exposure to toxigenic molds and mycotoxins is
associated with disorders of the respiratory and central nervous
systems, the mucous membrane, mucosal immunity, as well as cellular
and humoral immune dysfunction. Higher concentrations may induce
toxic effects that range from severe irritation to immunosuppression
and cancer.
A common problem many people face is finding a doctor who
understands the relationship between toxic mold exposure and the
symptoms experienced by those who suffer from such exposure.
