Biotoxin Assessments & Mycotoxin Testing
The Importance of Biotoxin Assessments for Sensitized Individuals
Approximately 20% of the U.S. population are considered sensitized individuals—people whose immune systems react more severely to environmental contaminants, particularly biotoxins such as mold, bacteria, and their byproducts. For these individuals, exposure to even low levels of indoor biotoxins can trigger serious health issues including chronic fatigue, respiratory problems, neurological symptoms, and inflammatory responses to name a few. A biotoxin assessment or mycotoxin testing is a critical step in identifying and addressing these hidden threats in the indoor environment. Unlike standard mold inspections, these assessments go beyond standard air quality testing to evaluate biotoxin and mycotoxin presence, total particulates and other allergens in the space. For sensitized individuals, a thorough and accurate biotoxin assessment can be life-changing—providing the information needed to create a safer, healthier living or working environment.
Biotoxins vs. Mycotoxins
Biotoxins are harmful substances that can cause a wide range of health problems when humans are exposed. Mycotoxins are a specific type of biotoxin created by certain molds as chemical byproducts. These toxins can linger in the environment, contaminate air and surfaces, and contribute to chronic health issues like immune suppression or neurological problems.
Hidden Connections Between Mycotoxin Sensitivity & Lyme Disease
Many people with Lyme disease often develop heightened sensitivities to mold and mycotoxins. Because their immune systems are already compromised, even low-level exposure can trigger significant symptoms such as fatigue, brain fog, or respiratory distress.
