MycoTOX Profile
WHAT IS THE MYCOTOX PROFILE TEST?
The MycoTOX test from Mosaic Diagnostics is a urine-based assay focused on 40 species of mold from 11 mycotoxins. It applies advanced mass spectrometry combined with liquid chromatography (LC/MS/MS) to test urine samples for very low levels of toxins. Mosaic Diagnostics has also developed artificial intelligence software to improve the detection levels of chromatographic peaks.
Mycotoxins (toxins from mold) are metabolites produced by fungi-like mold, which can infest vehicles, buildings, home contents and food products. Most mycotoxin exposures in the world are through airborne exposure, and are some of the most prevalent toxins in the environment.
IS THE TEST RIGHT FOR ME?
Mycotoxin-related symptoms are often vague and difficult to associate with a diagnosis, that’s why testing is important. I recommend this test for my patients who have chronic issues like sinusitis, allergies, chronic fatigue and poor immune function. These patients often have a growing list of food sensitivities indicating that mold is likely causing hypersensitive immune responses.
Several diseases and symptoms are linked to mycotoxin exposure, including:
Heightened sensitivity to chemicals and foods
Skin rashes
Chronic burning in the throat and nasal passages
Coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath
Asthma
Sinusitis
Rheumatic disease, morning stiffness, joint pain, or muscle weakness
Eye irritation or tearing of the eyes
Headache and/or light sensitivity
Cognitive issues (Memory loss, ADH, Slower reaction time, Disorientation)
Mood changes (Depression, Anxiety)
Dizziness or Loss of balance
Cancer
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and/or bloating
Weakness, Fatigue
Pneumonia-like symptoms, Fever
People at risk for mycotoxin exposure include those who work or live in older buildings, those with impaired immune responses or higher levels of oxidative stress, and those who have known exposure to water-damaged buildings.
Mycotoxins can affect human health in several ways, and mycotoxins’ presence in the body can cause serious health concerns, including cancer and autoimmune disease. Also, a higher incidence of autoimmune or neurological symptoms can be found in patients with mycotoxin toxicity.
