Mould exposure
Mould exposure is more than just an inconvenience—it can have serious implications for your health. Many people experience symptoms like allergies, fatigue, respiratory issues, and even neurological problems without realising the culprit might be lurking in their homes or workplaces.
Mould and Mycotoxins: The Hidden Health Hazard
Mould releases tiny particles called spores and, in some cases, mycotoxins—toxic substances that can infiltrate your body through inhalation, ingestion, or skin contact. Prolonged exposure can lead to a build-up of these toxins in your system, causing chronic health issues that are often misdiagnosed or overlooked.
The Missing Link: Your Environment and Your Health
If you’ve been experiencing persistent health problems without relief, your indoor environment may be contributing to your symptoms. Poor indoor air quality, dampness, and hidden mould growth are common factors that can worsen your health.
But it’s not just about identifying mould; it’s also about finding a doctor who understands the connection between environmental exposure and health.
Finding the Right Doctor Matters
Not all healthcare professionals are trained to identify or treat mould-related illnesses. Here’s what to look for:
Specialists in Environmental Medicine
These doctors understand how toxins like mycotoxins affect the body.
Functional or Integrative Medicine Practitioners
They often consider environmental factors in diagnosing and treating chronic illnesses.
Allergists and Immunologists
These specialists can help address mould-related allergies and immune responses.
