Recognizing symptoms of Mold Exposure
Who Will Benefit From the Mycotoxins test?
The Mycotoxins panel measures levels of mycotoxins produced by common molds that people are exposed to.
Mycotoxin exposure can come from both dietary and environmental sources. Dietary sources include spoiled or rotten foods, grains, dried fruits, nuts, coffee, and spices. Environmental sources include living or working in water-damaged buildings, airborne or physical contact with outdoor molds, and airborne dust in buildings containing mold spores.
If you were diagnosed with or suspect toxic burden, impaired immunity, autoimmune disease, or exposure to mold, this panel may benefit you.
Recognizing Symptoms of Mycotoxin Toxicity
Symptoms include:
- Anxiety (fears, uneasiness)
- Shortness of breath
- Itchy eyes
- Red or swollen eyes
- Irregular heartbeat
- Sensitivity to light
- Insomnia at night
- Stiff muscles
- Lack of concentration/brain fog
- Increased urinary frequency
- Itchy skin
- Swelling/burning lips/tongue
- Forgetfulness

- Headache
- Depression
- Stiff joints
- Rashes or hives
- Daytime sleepiness
- Watery eyes
Why Is This Test Important?
According to the World Health Organization and Food and Agricultural Organization, 25% of the world’s agricultural products are contaminated with mycotoxins.
People with mold exposure can present with conditions and symptoms affecting multiple organs and systems within the body, including respiratory system (sinus and lungs), musculoskeletal system (muscles, bones, and connective tissues), and the central and peripheral nervous systems (brain,spine, and nerves).
Symptoms of mycotoxin toxicity are often general and vague, and thus difficult to diagnose, leaving you at risk of longterm health damage.

What To Expect From the Test
1. Follow our simple instructions to perform this urine test at home or at a practitioner’s office.
2. Before testing:
- You are not required to fast before your Mycotoxins test. However, fasting for 12 hours may increase the number of mycotoxins excreted in urine, so your provider may recommend fasting for 12 hours prior to testing.
- Your provider may recommend a “provoked” test which requires taking a “provoking agent” (such as NAC, DMSA, or EDTA) before testing to promote the release of mycotoxins.
- For best test performance, collect the first-morning urine upon awakening, prior to eating or drinking.
- Your provider may ask you to discontinue medications or dietary supplements. Speak with your provider to learn more.
3. Send the test to our lab for analysis and work with your care provider to understand the results.
