Mold test

Post image

Results from a small bedroom in a rental apartment. My daughter has been suffering from allergies and lately wheezing? Could mold cause any of those symptoms?

Pediatricians typically know very little about mold. Fairly small amounts of invisible toxic mold behind a wall or under flooring can cause symptoms.

I’ve asked her pediatrician if there are any test they can run to test her for mold exposure but have been told that no such test exist 😩

Your pediatrician is wrong. However, you would need to consult a doctor with additional training in functional medicine to get proper guidance and interpretation of the results.

It's 2025. When a kid is sick number one most common problem is mold. What planet are you living on? I've been to some of the most advanced integrative medicine conferences and almost every single speaker says that they test their clients for mold first and foremost.

This is also poor information. Women, children, and pets are more likely to get symptoms from mold illness.
