A surprising health scare caused by mycotoxin poisoning. Mycotoxin poisoning is a toxic reaction caused by inhaling, ingesting, or touching toxic substances produced by fungi/mold often leading to acute or chronic illnesses. There can be dietary exposure, but also environmental exposure by inhaling or touching mold in water-damaged buildings. Common molds are Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium. Mycotoxin poisoning isn’t a common occurrence and we breathe in mold spores daily typically without issue, but high exposure can cause chronic health issues. (Source-Cleveland Clinic)
We offer mold testing that can check the air quality for mold spores by sending it to a lab for review and report if there are any elevated types of mold spores within the living environment.

Jenny McCarthy says mycotoxin poisoning caused her jawbone infections, missing teeth and eyelid growths, calling the ordeal a "living hell" on the "Heal Squad" podcast.
