MycoTOX Profile (Mold)
(Mold Test Kit) What is the MycoTOX Test? Mycotoxins, toxins from mold, are some of the most prevalent toxins in the environment. The MycoTOX test from Mosaic Diagnostics is a urine-based assay focused on 40 species of mold from 11 mycotoxins. Mycotoxins are metabolites produced by fungi like mold, which can infest vehicles, buildings, and food products. Most mycotoxin exposures in Europe, North America, and Australia are through airborne exposure. People at risk for mycotoxin exposure include those who work or live in older buildings, those with impaired immune responses or higher levels of oxidative stress, and those who have known exposure to water-damaged buildings. Mycotoxins can affect human health in several ways, and mycotoxins’ presence in the body can cause serious health concerns, including cancer and autoimmune disease. Also, a higher incidence of autoimmune or neurological symptoms can be found in patients with mycotoxin toxicity. Which Patients is the MycoTOX Test Best Us
