New Mycotoxin
Blood Test

MyMycoLab is proud to announce the new serum blood test for 14 different mycotoxins Molds and Mycotoxin

Hero

Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time? Have you gone from doctor to doctor, had lots of tests, tried many medications and/or vitamins and supplements, and still feel awful? You and many others like you could be suffering from exposure to molds and mycotoxins where you live or where you work.

Many people who are diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Fibromyalgia, Lyme Disease, and others may actually be suffering from the consequences of mold and mycotoxin exposure.

In the United States, there is now the only laboratory that will test blood serum for 14 mycotoxins: it is MyMycoLab. Up to now, there has only been a urine test. The testing for mycotoxins in blood serum is much more precise, accurate, and has high analytical sensitivity and specificity. MyMycoLab does both IgG and IgE antibody testing on serum.

14 Mycotoxins: IgG and IgE antibodies to each mycotoxin for a panel of 28 results!

  • Satrotoxin is a trichothecene mycotoxin mainly produced by Stachybotrys, also known as “black mold” and is one of the most potent mycotoxins. It is known to cause neurotoxicity and inflammation in the brain and induces apaptosis of the olfactory sensory neurons. Satratoxin can cause fatigue, headaches, nosebleeds, pulmonary hemorrhage, chest pain, moist dermatitis, and fever. It is neurotoxic and causes
  • Verrucarin and Verrucarol are trichothecene mycotoxins mainly produced by Fusarium and Aspergillus species and are known to cause tremors, immune toxicity, inflammation, are cytotoxic, and are potent protein synthesis inhibitors.
  • Ochratoxin (A and B) can cause immune suppression, lung disease, urinary tract tumors, and is toxic to kidneys, liver, and is carcinogenic (causes cancer). This is due to its ability to affect DNA and inhibit protein synthesis. Ochratoxin can potentiate the effects of IL-1β on IL-8 secretion with a range of 35% to 138% increase and augments the transepithelial passage of commensal bacteria with a 12- to 1522-fold increase. Studies have shown it causes leaky gut syndrome and changes the nutrients that are absorbed from foods. It cannot be excreted in urine. The highest Ochratoxin levels are found in breast milk.

    Ochratoxin’s major targets are: Liver, Kidney, Brain, Skeletal muscle, Fat tissue, Ochratoxin crosses the placenta.
  • T2 Toxin are trichothecene mycotoxins and are the only mycotoxins that have been used in biological warfare. They can cause diarrhea, vomiting, and intestinal hemorrhage, as well as changes in reproductive cycles and infertility. This mycotoxin is known to decrease testosterone.
  • Vomitoxin aka Deoxynivalenol are trichothecene mycotoxins and can destroy intestinal barrier function, resulting in anorexia, inflammatory bowel disease and celiac disease. They can increase IL-8 secretion with a 10- to 15-fold increase. This mycotoxin can affect both estrogen and testosterone.
  • Cladosporium toxin (Cladosporium HSP 70) The airborne spores of Cladosporium species are significant allergens, and they can severely affect asthmatics and people with respiratory diseases. Cladosporium also produce volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which are neurotoxic. Severe headaches, seizures, and sleepiness are the most common clinical manifestations.
  • Alternaria toxin (Alternariol) is cytotoxic (toxic to cells), mutagenic (causes mutations), genotoxic (genes), and causes immune suppression. This mycotoxin is also known to form reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing inflammation, and to lower testosterone.
  • Aspergillus Toxin (Aspergillus hemolysin) is a trichothecene mycotoxin mainly produced by Stachybotrys, also known as “black mold” and is one of the most potent mycotoxins. It is known to cause neurotoxicity and inflammation in the brain and induces apaptosis of the olfactory sensory neurons. Satratoxin can cause fatigue, headaches, nosebleeds, pulmonary hemorrhage, chest pain, moist dermatitis, and fever. It is neurotoxic and causes
  • Aspergillus Auto-Toxin (Sterigmatocystin) carcinogenic (causes cancer), mutagenic (causes mutations), and teratogenic (causes malformations of the fetus), hepatotoxic (liver); can cause autoimmune diseases.
  • Penicillium Toxin (Mycophenolic acid) can cause immune suppression.
  • Aspergillus/Penicillium Neuro Auto-Toxin (Gliotoxin) can cause immune suppression, neurotoxicity (has been linked to multiple sclerosis and others), and immune toxicity. It is toxic to genes (genotoxic) and show potent cytotoxic activity against white blood cell (leukocytes) such as macrophages and polymorphonuclear leukocytes at extremely low concentrations.
  • Stachybotrys Toxin ( Trichothecene) Trichothecene mycotoxins can cause the following: Vascular system: increased vascular fragility (blood vessels), pulmonary hemorrhage or hemorrhage into body tissues. Nervous system: tremors, headaches, seizures, sleep disturbance, incoordination, and depression. It can also cause demyelination of nerves leading to Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP). Digestive system: vomiting, diarrhea, liver toxicity, intestinal hemorrhage, and anorexia. It is a cause of intestinal permeability. Cutaneous (skin) system: rash, photosensitization, sloughing of skin, burning sensation. Endocrine system: decrease in testosterone in men and women; increase in estrogens in men and women.
  • Fumonisin comes mainly from Fusarium molds. It is hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, and can cause esophageal cancer. It inhibits sphingolipid metabolism, which adversely affects the brain, and can cause depression that is resistant to antidepressant medications. It also causes mitochondrial dysregulation.

  • Zearalenone estrogenic mycotoxin that has major effects on reproduction in women and affects men as well. It can cause a decrease on embryo survival and a reduction of fetal weight as well as reduced milk production. It can cause premature breast development and precocious puberty in young girls. In men, testosterone and spermatogenesis are reduced. Zearalenone is hepatotoxic and immunotoxic, and causes mitochondrial dysregulation.
