The Gold Mycotoxin Panel

Mycotoxins are toxic chemical byproducts released by certain molds under stress. They don’t float freely, they attach to spores, fragments, and dust from whatever the mold was breaking down. These particles settle into your home’s dust and get inhaled day after day.

That’s why settled dust tells the real story. It’s a living archive of what’s been circulating, and what your body has likely been exposed to, for weeks, months, or even years.

The Gold Mycotoxin Panel detects these toxins directly from your home’s dust, helping us evaluate your health risk and determine how aggressive your decontamination strategy needs to be.

It’s not just about what’s growing. It’s about what’s lingering.

If you’ve had water damage, failed remediation, or lingering symptoms, this test reveals what inspections often miss.

The Gold Mycotoxin Panel quantifies & detect 12 mycotoxin groups that are frequently associated with water damage & mold illness: Trichothecenes, Satratoxin G & H, Stachybotrylactam, Chaetoglobosin, Sterigmatocystin, Aflatoxins, Alternariol, Citrinin, Mycophenolic Acid, Ochratoxin A & Zearalenone.

The Gold Mycotoxin Panel is designed to evaluate:

• WHAT type(s) of the 12 mycotoxin groups are present

• HOW MANY mycotoxins are detected in the dust sample you submit

This panel does not tell us where a problem is located in the home, but it does help us determine:

• Your level of environmental exposure

• How intense your decontamination efforts may need to be

Q: How many tests should I order?

A: One test is our recommendation if your goal is to determine if your home has mycotoxins. This is especially helpful if you already know you have a mold issue and you are looking to get some additional data to help you in your decision making process with regards to decontamination and sorting contaminated contents/possessions.

*If you haven’t done any testing yet, and you are unsure if you have a mold issue, we would suggest doing an ERMI Test as well as this test. If you could only choose one between the two, the ERMI would be our suggested starting point for those looking to gauge a home’s health risk.

Q: How do I find sources in my home?

If you also wish to identify source locations, i.e. you want to validate *IF* you have mycotoxins, but also you wish to locate *WHERE* said mycotoxins are possibly coming from, you would need to purchase additional tests. You can not isolate source areas with only one test.

EX: If I wanted to see if the mycotoxins were coming from my basement, 1st floor or second floor, I would need 3 tests.

If you have a large home, (over 3500 sq. ft.) or multiple floors, it is suggested, (but not required) to consider additional tests, or to isolate testing to a specific area such as an HVAC system, or the separate floors of a home/building. This professional technique allows for a more precise evaluation to assist in possibly locating an exposure or gauging risk sectors. It is however, not a necessity if you are just starting out. We recommend a consultation with us prior to ordering multiple tests so we can help you with a strategy if this is something you are considering.
