Mold Overview - what do you need to know?
Molds are very common fungi in indoor and outdoor environments. There are thousands of mold species, and they have been around for millions of years. Many are innocuous and even beneficial, however, over 300 mold species produce dangerous toxins, called mycotoxins.
How to know if you have mold?
Recognising the symptoms of mold exposure
Mold toxicity is an often neglected and overlooked topic in academic medicine despite being a common cause of many chronic diseases. Mold illness can be difficult to diagnose due to the variety of symptoms that can be experienced from person to person.
Symptoms of acute mold exposure:
Watery eyes
Wheezing
Itchy & red eyes
Coughing
Running nose
Body pain
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Symptoms of long term mold exposure:
General
fatigue
insomnia​
Immune system
chronic inflammation, food intolerance, sensitivity to chemicals, odors, and medicine
Mental health
depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), irritability, mood swings
Nervous system
cognitive abnormalities, “brain fog”, headache, migraine, poor balance, vertigo, tremors, numbness
​
​
Hormonal system
thyroid problem, irregular or painful menstruation, lack of menstruation, problem to regulate temperature
Eyes
blurred vision, eye irritation, itchy eyes, red eyes, light sensitivity, tearing
Digestive system
metallic taste in mouth, nausea, vomiting, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, constipation, excessive thirst, appetite swings, bile acid reflux
Muscular system
muscle pain, muscle weakness, joint pain, morning stiffness
Skin

Respiratory system

Mold exposure can be a root cause of many other health conditions and is often misdiagnosed with:
-
autoimmune diseases
-
chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS)
-
gut dysbiosis like SIBO
-
mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
-
multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS)
-
postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and other dysautonomia
-
mental health problems.
Moreover, mold makes every other health problem worse. By suppressing the immune system, mold can allow previously unrecognized infections, like Lyme disease, to manifest.
Testing & Diagnosis
The importance of proper testing and diagnosis.
Mold illness can mimic other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis and prolonged suffering. Many conventional medical tests often fail to detect mold illness as they look only at the mold allergy markers.
Dr. Wasik uses a variety of functional tests, each providing crucial insights into the presence and impact of mycotoxins in the body.
Combining various tests provides a comprehensive picture of mold exposure and its effects, leading to a more accurate diagnosis of mold illness. Results from these tests alow us to develop individualized treatment plans based on specific mycotoxins present, inflammation levels, and genetic factors. Regular testing allows for the monitoring of treatment effectiveness, ensuring adjustments can be made to improve the outcomes. Early detection through these tests can prevent the progression of mold illness to more severe, chronic conditions by facilitating timely and appropriate interventions.
Key types of functional tests include:
Urine Mycotoxin
Test
This test provides direct measurements of various mycotoxins excreted in the urine and helps monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
Inflammatory Markers
Elevated levels of several markers can indicate chronic inflammation due to mold exposure, aiding in assessing the extent of the inflammatory response and monitoring treatment effectiveness.
Genetic
Tests
Genetic testing identifies genetic predispositions that may affect an individual's ability to detoxify mycotoxins, thus aiding in tailoring treatment plans.
