Molds

Mold Immunoreactivity Panels, test for the most prevalent molds found to infest buildings, vehicles, and foods

 

The spores of mold fungi are common causes of inhalant allergy. Asthma or respiratory tract symptoms are often signs of mold allergy or exposure. Molds are commonly found in moist damp areas such as basements, trashcans, plant soil and woodpiles. Mold colonies are often seen growing on the surface of moist foods such as bread, cheese and jam.

If you are suspecting mold allergies or sensitivities, avoiding all exposure of mold may not be possible. However, you can reduce your risk by identifying problem molds through our serum blood test.

Alletess Medical Laboratory provides a Mold Elimination Plan, which is helpful in reducing your risk of reaction. Helpful tips such as cleaning up your environment and choosing your foods carefully will help alleviate symptoms. Avoid foods that are more likely to contain mold or other fungi, such as mushrooms or yeast.

As research progresses, we continue to update and change our molds to strive to test for the molds that have the most negative impact on patients health.
