18-page assessment for the presence of over mycotoxins, metabolites of various mould related with causing a range of health issues.
Comprehensive Mould Detection:
MycoTOX tests for 11 different mould toxins using just one simple urine sample.
Mould can enter homes through open windows, vents, doorways, and heating and air conditioning systems. Mould grows well on organic products such as paper, wood, cardboard, and ceiling tiles. Mould can also grow on insulation, drywall, wallpaper, carpet, fabric, and upholstery. Mould can be controlled by cleaning and drying after water intrusion; having proper ventilation for showers, laundry, and cooking areas; making sure that windows, roofs, and pipes are free of leaks; and by controlling humidity levels. After moisture problems are alleviated it is recommended that mould removal be performed by a licensed contractor. Attempts to remove mould may cause mould spores to scatter and spread to other areas. In addition, treating mould without proper ventilation could result in health problems caused by the release of mycotoxins from the mould spores.
What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are toxic substances produced by fungi like mould, commonly found in the environment. They can contaminate homes, vehicles, and even food, making exposure more common than you might think.
How You’re Exposed:
Food Contamination: In the EU, 20% of harvested grains are contaminated with mycotoxins. These toxins resist heat and common food processing methods, making them hard to eliminate.
Airborne Exposure: Mould can grow on almost any surface in warm, damp environments — think drywall, insulation, wallpaper, and ceiling tiles. These fungi release mycotoxins into the air, making breathing in contaminated air a significant risk.
After your naturopathic consultation, you may be prescribed functional testing to investigate what might be the root cause of your symptoms. Once you have purchased the functional test, you will receive an eReferral to deposit your salivary sample, which you can submit at your local Laverty Pathology or Australian Clinical Labs.
You will be notified via email as soon as your results are ready.
