Test Mold & Mycotoxins
There are several ways to test for mycotoxins both in the body and in your environment. It all depends on your budget and current health status.
To confirm the presence of mold mycotoxins in the body, the MycoTox urine test by Great Plains Labs is currently one of the best options. However, if a person’s elimination pathways are compromised (ex. cannot sweat), the results may not truly reflect the actual body burden since the body can’t properly eliminate mycotoxins in urine (so they won’t show up in the test!).
If a person’s budget is tight, it might make sense to skip the MycoTox test and instead focus on testing their environment for mold with an ERMI test. If the results come back with high species of mold, and they are showing symptoms of mold, it makes more sense to spend their money on mold remediation as the next step (or move if necessary) in order to avoid continued mold exposure and allow the body to detoxify and heal.
ACTION STEPS:
1. Consider ordering the MycoTox and/or the ERMI tests below.

Here’s how to order an ERMI:
2. If you’re unsure which tests to order or if your budget does not allow for either option, please watch “How to Test for Mold” inside the Mold & Myotoxin Illness course for a full review of the different options and costs such as the VCS test, OAT test and blood testing.
