Possible Symptoms of Mycotoxin Toxicity

霉菌毒素中毒的可能症状

Mold is sneaky and the symptoms are varying because mold and their mycotoxins are
immunosuppressive. When the immune system is suppressed, other issues (Lyme, viruses, chronic strep,
gut dysbiosis) start popping up. Therefore, keep an eye out for these listed symptoms. When these types
of symptoms pop up in clusters, you may want to investigate your home for mold.

Mold versus Mycotoxins 霉菌与霉菌毒素

Firstly, it is important to know the difference between mold and mycotoxins.

首先，了解零菌和零菌毒素之间的区别非常重要。

。Mold is a fungal organism that grows on wet or decaying organic matter.
霉菌是一种生长在潮湿或腐烂的有机物上的真菌生物。
。 Mycotoxins are the toxins produced by the fungal organism (mold) under threat.

霉菌毒素是在真菌生物 (Sa) 受到威胁时产生的毒素。

Mold Inspection Stow

Testing your home for mold
对房屋进行霉菌检测

The first step in assessing mold toxicity is to evaluate the home environment. If the person is living in
mold, they have mold in their body. There are numerous tests that can be used, but a combination of
testing is most revealing.

评估霉菌毒性的第一步是评估家庭环境。如果人生活在霉菌中，那么其体内就有老菌。可以使用多种检测方法，
但检测方法的组合最具启发性。

。 ERMI- ERMI tests look for spores that have settled in dust around the home.

ERMI——ERMI 检测寻找沉降在家中灰尘中的孢子。
o ERMI is a good test to start with. Allow dust to accumulate in order to gain a good sample.
ERMI 是一个很好的检测方法。让灰尘积聚以获得良好的样本。

o However, some very heavy molds (that are also quite toxic) never settle in the dust. For this reason,
they can be missed.

然而，一些非常重的霉菌 〈也具有很强的毒性) 永远不会沉降到灰尘中。因此，它们可能会被忽略。
。Spore Trap/Air tests - These tests measure what is floating around in the air.
孢子捕集器/空气测试一一这些测试测量空气中漂浮的物质。
o Specifically, these are helpful in enclosed areas like inside wall cavities, inside cabinets or behind
appliances.
有具体来说，这些测试有助于检查封闭区域，如墙体空腔内、橱柜内或电器后面。
o Air tests should be collected professionally.
空气测试应由专业人员进行收集。
o However, air testing only detects what has been disturbed and wafted into the air.
AD, SA Mit RMA CF MAAS SPA.
e Tape testing - These identify the species of mold.
胶带测试一一这些测试可识别霉菌的种类。
o This can be collected by a professional or by yourself if there is visible mold.
PORES sea, WARS WA Raa CU,

° For example, this is a tape test you can do yourself.
例如，这是一个您可以自己做的胶带测试。
。 Acombination of the above tests.
以上测试的组合。
o Above all, the best approach to testing your home is using multiple types of testing done by a
qualified environmental professional.

最重要的是，测试您房屋的最佳方法是使用合格的环境专业人员进行多种类型的测试。

Types of Mold 霉菌的种类

There are numerous types of mold with varying levels of danger involved. Here, we would like to discuss
Stachybotrys.

SEaHRS2, CHEESES. HixXe, Riveie— has.

。 No amount of Stachybotrys is safe.
任何数量的曲霉都是不安全的。
© This is what is referred to as “black mold”.
o If this mold shows up on ERMI testing, it is cause for immediate concern.

如果这种零菌出现在 ERMI 检测中，则应立即引起关注。

Mycotoxins 霉菌毒素

Mycotoxins are environmental biotoxins and therefore are handled by the body’s detoxification system.

霉菌毒素是环境生物毒素，因此由人体的排毒系统处理。它们可能导致非常严重的累积性神经损伤、肝肾损伤和/
或免疫缺陷或抑制。霉菌毒素会损害线粒体并消耗人体的能量。

Mycotoxin Testing for your Child
为您的孩子进行霉菌毒素检测

Parents often want to know how to test their children for mycotoxins. Below, we list a few options, but
remember that testing your home for mold will give you the most information.

父母通常想知道如何检测孩子是否感染了霉菌毒素。以下列出了一些选择，但请记住，对家中霉菌进行检测将为
您提供最多的信息。

。 Mycotoxin Urine testing 霉菌毒素尿液检测

例如，Great Plains Lab 的 MycoTox Profile 或 Real Time Labs 的 MycoToxin Testing
o However, mycotoxin urine testing only looks at what the person is actively excreting.
(AS, BBA Ra AMEE HEAT.
o In addition, the detoxication system is impaired in many people diagnosed with autism.
tah, PSPS BANTEAY A ASHES AREA.
o Since mycotoxin urine testing is dependent on a well-functioning detox system; these tests are not
always accurate.
由于霉菌毒素尿液检测依赖于功能良好的排毒系统; 因此，这些检测并不总是准确的。

。Blood testing 血液检测

o There is no testing for actual mold in the blood. There are only IgG antibody tests, which tests the
body's response to the mycotoxins.

MRA RUMBA, RA IgG 抗体检测 ，该检测检测人体对霉菌毒素的反应。

。 You can do these tests via Quest and Labcorp. However, there are lots of molds you could be
exposed to that they don’t offer.

您可以通过 Quest 和 Labcorp #77, (BS, Go RHSAANTSthHiiLaiPHNSe.

e The Alletess 15 mold antibody panel is a good option.

Alletess 15 种霉菌抗体检测板是一个不错的选择。
The Alletess panel is a good way to assess current exposure. Check IgG results, as most people

do not develop actual IgE (allergies) to mold.

Alletess 检测板是评估当前暴露情况的不错方法。检查 1gG 结果，因为大多数人不会对霉菌产生真正的
IgE (tax) 。

This test can only be ordered by a medical practitioner. It is a kit that needs to be ordered and
then signed by a doctor.

此项检测只能由医疗从业人员订购。这是一个需要订购然后由医生签名的试剂盒。

。 If you do not have a doctor, you can order serum mycotoxin testing through MyMycotoxin lab
which also looks for antibodies.

如果您没有医生，您可以通过 MyMycotoxin 实验室订购血清霉菌毒素检测，该实验室也会寻找抗体。
o Elevated C4A and low MSH (on a blood test) are indicative of possible exposure to water damage.
C4A 升高和 MSH 降低 (在血液检测中) 表明可能接触过水损坏。
e These can easily be ordered by a pediatrician.

儿科医生可以轻松订购这些检测。

How do | know if mycotoxins are an issue for my child with autism?

我如何知道堆菌毒素是否是我患有自闭症的孩子的问题?

Since our kids with autism can have impaired detoxification, the most reliable way to know if this is an

issue for your child is to look for evidence of water damage in your home.

由于我们串有自闭症的孩子可能存在排毒障碍，因此了解这是否是您孩子的问题的最可靠方法是寻找您家中是否
存在水损坏的证据。

e If water damage and mold are found in your childs environment, mycotoxin exposure is assumed.
如果在您孩子的环境中发现水渍和霉菌，则假定存在霉菌毒素暴露。

o Therefore, your child should be removed from the home while it is appropriately remediated with
clear follow up testing.

因此，在对您的孩子进行适当的补救并进行明确的后续测试之前，应将其从家中带走。


Safe Testing and Remediation

安全测试和修复

There are Safe ways to both investigate for mold, and remediate.

有安全的方法来调查霉菌和进行修复。

。 Never open up walls to expose hidden mold, or allow anyone else to do so.
DATE URE SRIIS eA, asi Ath ArH.

o Rather, this needs to be done under containment to avoid releasing mycotoxins or spreading it
around the house.

相反，这需要在密闭环境下进行，以避免释放出霉菌毒素或将其扩散到房屋周围。
。 Do NOT spray with bleach or other chemicals.
不要用漂白剂或其他化学品喷酒。
o This sets off the defense mechanism and releases more mycotoxins.

这会触发防御机制并释放出更多的霉菌毒素。

To clarify, not only is it dangerous to attempt to kill mold in your home, but dead spores are still
dangerous. Please note that mycotoxins cannot be killed.

iiae—Fh, MSRRARPNSE Re, MEV. ite, SRBROARAKN.
e Instead, damaged materials need to be cut out and removed entirely under pressurized containment.
相反，损坏的材料需要在加压密闭环境下完全切除并移除。
o A knowledgeable remediator does this.
