Our home in Hudson Florida was tested for mold and my husband & I have been having a lot of health problems since this home was tested positive. We want to be tested to see if our health problems are related to the mold.Can you recommend where to have this testing done.
Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to Chat Doctor. I read and understand your concern. I am Chat Doctor answering your concern. You should go for testing of blood. This can be tested in any of the advanced laboratories available near to your house. There are two tests that can differentiate the condition. One is blood eosinophilic and other is the fungal alpha antigen testing present in the blood. If these two tests are detected in blood and in the respiratory system. Then you are infected with the mold. Mold mostly come into system by the inhalation of the fungal hype. Once inhaled it causes allergic reaction in the body. This is responsible for the reaction in the body. To keep the antigen away from the body is the most important thing. This is the final cure for the disease. If you are severely affectedbthan you can take the fluconazole tablet and prednisolone low dose tablet under your doctors' guidance. Engineering and construction can remove the mold from the house so if you can do that, all your infection will remain away from you for lifetime. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/ Chat Doctor. Thank you, ChatDoctorInfectious diseases specialist, ChatDoctor.
