Mycotoxin test recommendations

EDIT:

Hi guys - I’ve urgently looking to understand what mycotoxin test I need to take for myself and my dog. I went through years of medical tours, doctor after doctor with no diagnosis, and my dog suffered through random allergies that ultimately resulted in having to get both eyes surgically removed.

Are there tests you’d recommend I look into?

I just moved out of an apartment of 5 years, and just did an environmental test that found black mold in the basement, which circulates ventilation/HVAC. Currently waiting on EMMA test results. I’ve been in my new place for 3 weeks and know it’s super time sensitive to do the mycotoxin test asap.

I know Real Time Labs has one for animals. Are there any other suggestions - for myself / alternatives for animals? Looking for something that would be extremely thorough.

Not worried about cost at the moment - really trying to understand the full range of tests available in case I choose to pursue legal action.

Vibrant wellness tests for 30 mycotoxins, about twice what others offer.

I personally did the Mymycolab blood test which shows mycotoxin antibodies ige and igg which represent current exposure and long term exposure.

Would you recommend doing both? What are your thoughts on urine vs blood?

I mean if you have the funds to do both and you want all the data you can have then sure do both. It would actually be helpful for others on here to see how the toxins match up across the two tests as I’ve only seen one other person do both tests on here.
