Mold is a type of fungus which typically grows on moist food and other surfaces. Mold contamination in buildings is quite common, with as many as 1 in 3 homes containing some level of mold.
Certain molds produce mycotoxins that are absorbed through skin contact, ingestion, or inhalation. Once these mycotoxins are in the body, they can contribute to a variety of health issues. Mycotoxin illness, or mold toxicity, is a common cause of chronic inflammatory response syndrome (CIRS). CIRS is a complex inflammatory process that can be linked to exposure to a variety of toxins and pathogens, including Lyme and other tick-borne infections.
Exposure to mold, yeast, parasites, and other pathogens can lead to a high toxic burden. Individuals with mold toxicity are often diagnosed with allergies, asthma, gastrointestinal disorders, fibromyalgia, and other conditions.
