Mold is a common part of both indoor and outdoor environments. Spores can enter indoor spaces through open doors, windows, and vents, making it difficult to completely avoid exposure.
Mold toxicity refers to illness caused by exposure to certain mold species that produce harmful substances called mycotoxins.
These can impact multiple systems in the body, leading to symptoms such as respiratory issues, memory loss, brain fog, fatigue, anxiety, and depression.
Persistent “cold-like” symptoms, postnasal drip, runny nose, sore throat, and sinus pressure.
Coughing or chest tightness can indicate an allergy or asthma, especially worsening in certain rooms or times of the year.
Pressure in the forehead or eyes, trouble concentrating, and difficulty finding the right words can indicate the need for medical evaluation to eliminate other causes.
You may feel wiped out even after getting enough sleep. Track your patterns to understand if this correlates with time spent in spaces that have been exposed to mold.
Airborne irritants and mold allergens can cause burning, a feeling of sand in the eyes, and persistent tearing.
Skin flares such as eczema, itching, or hives can indicate an allergic reaction to mold. Keep a log to track location and when symptoms flare.
Mold can inflame the upper airway, causing chronic throat clearing or a hoarse voice.
Black mold can trigger asthma attacks and severe chest tightness. Seek medical care if symptoms worsen or you have to use an EPIPen after exposure.
These are less common, although some still report nausea, cramps, diarrhea, and increased GI infections. Keep a diary to eliminate medication effects or diet triggers.
Chronic mold exposure, poor sleep, and environmental stressors can worsen mood, increase stress, and impact mental health. If you have increased irritability, anxiety, or low mood without an explainable cause, it’s important to speak with a health professional.
Based on your results from our testing partners, our functional medicine team creates a personalized treatment plan to help you accelerate the elimination of mold in the body.
No, most insurance plans do not cover mold or toxin testing.
Treatment for mold exposure typically involves a combination of avoiding further exposure, supporting the body’s detoxification pathways, and addressing any symptoms or infections. We do not provide mold removal services. To eliminate the source of mold in your home or apartment, it’s best to contact a professional mold remediation service or your landlord.
Test results generally take 1 to 2 weeks after the lab receives your sample. We do not administer the actual tests, but we can help you connect with our partner lab. Once results are available, Harper Clinic’s providers can review and discuss them with you in detail, developing a tailored plan based on your unique mold exposure profile.
No, mold toxin testing is non-invasive and straightforward. Most tests require a simple urine or blood sample, both of which are collected with minimal discomfort. Some tests can even be done entirely at home with easy-to-use sampling kits.
Mold toxin testing is beneficial for anyone experiencing unexplained or chronic health issues, and individuals with known mold exposure risks (such as those in certain occupations or living in specific environments).
Take a proactive, functional medicine approach today to understand symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, and allergies with mold toxicity treatment.

What a great experience. Our household has been super sick and most of us havenu2019t been able to keep fluids down. This is exactly what we needed to get strength and energy back. Annie was so good at the poke that we barely felt it.
