Mold and mycotoxin illness is one of the most underdiagnosed yet prevalent root causes behind a wide range of chronic health conditions. Mycotoxins are toxic compounds naturally produced by certain types of mold - think of them as “mold farts” that can wreak havoc on your body without you even realizing you've been exposed.
WHAT IS MOLD/MYCOTOXIN ILLNESS?
One of the most frustrating aspects of mold illness is that exposure often goes unnoticed, making diagnosis incredibly difficult. Many patients suffer for years with vague symptoms and no clear answers until mold is finally identified as the root cause.

Common misconceptions around mold:
"Only black mold is dangerous."
WRONG.
While black mold (Stachybotrys) is infamous, it’s not the only culprit. Green, red, white, beige, and yellow molds can be just as harmful. All mold has the potential to produce mycotoxins and impact your health.
"You can just spray bleach on it to kill mold."
WRONG.
Even OSHA no longer recommends using bleach on mold, especially on porous surfaces, because it doesn't penetrate deeply enough to kill the mold at its root. In fact, it can actually feed the mold’s root system by adding moisture, making the problem worse.
"You can cut the mold out and be done with it."
NOT ALWAYS.
Cutting into mold without proper containment is like blowing on a dandelion puff inside your home—except instead of harmless seeds, you’re releasing thousands of tiny, toxic spores that can settle on every surface and spread throughout your entire space. Professional mold remediation is essential to mitigate the dangers of mold.
"It’s safe to live or work in a moldy space."
ABSOLUTELY NOT.
If you're actively being exposed, you cannot fully heal. Mold exposure can lead to both acute and chronic health issues, and staying in the environment prolongs and worsens your symptoms.
