Mycotoxin Environmental Testing
Mycotoxin Environmental Testing
Mycotoxins are found where there is mold; however, not all molds produce dangerous mycotoxins. Certain species produce more than others, with both indoor and outdoor molds having the ability to do so. When there is water intrusion in your home, whether it's from flood damage or even a minor leak, within 48 hours, mold spores that have been dormant or have come from outside will start to feed on the wet materials in your home. These mold spores produce mold toxins called mycotoxins.
The EMMA test uses sensitive molecular detection technology to look for the presence of 10 of the most toxigenic molds. It determines their presence and determines their relative abundance. EMMA also tests directly for 16 of the most poisonous Mycotoxins using its patented Mycotoxin detection test. Testing is simple, only requiring small amounts of dust or material from AC or heater filters. Instructions are provided with the pre-paid return kit that is sent to you upon order. Results will be sent to you within 10 business days from receipt of your sample.

SYMPTOMS OF BEING AFFECTED BY MYCOTOXINS:
Fatigue
Short term memory loss
Brain "fog"
Headaches
Easily confused
Blurred vision or visual episodes
Seizures
Loss of equilibrium
Feeling "spaced out"
Muscles and joint aches and pains
Intolerance of bright lights
Decreased libido
Sores that will not heal, rashes
Shortness of breath
Cardiac arrhythmias
Mood swings, personality changes
Tremors
Abdominal pain and discomfort
Hair Loss
Numbness and Tingling in hands/feet
Nosebleeds
Chronic sinusitis, severe nasal allergies
Sleep disturbance
Painful lymph nodes
Low-grade fever or feeling hot often
Uncomfortable or frequent urination
And:… pets get sick too…
LYME DISEASE
Many patients suffering from chronic Lyme disease may actually have mycotoxicosis. The symptoms are very alike, and when the treatment for Lyme, which is a bacteria, fails to help a person the reason may be that it is actually mycotoxins causing the problem.
AUTISM (ASD)
Children with autism frequently have elevated mycotoxin antibody levels as reported in a recent study of 172 autistic children. These antibody levels are included in the mycotoxin serum blood test panel.
MYCOTOXINS ARE LINKED TO MANY OTHER ILLNESSES:
Alzheimer's disease: exposure to molds and mycotoxins have been linked to Alzheimer's disease.
Asthma: frequently asthma is a result of exposure to molds and mycotoxins, especially in children but also in adults.
Fungal sinusitis: it has been demonstrated in studies that molds cause sinusitis and are much more common than was believed.
Multiple Sclerosis (MS): studies have shown that exposure to molds and mycotoxins is a risk factor in MS.
Obesity: the effects of mycotoxins on the gut bacteria (gut microbiome) can and frequently results in obesity.
