Being exposed to a damp and moldy environment doesn’t always lead to health complications, but sometimes it can. An allergy to one or more Harmful Molds may cause symptoms like:
- Stuffy nose,
- Slight breathing difficulty,
- Red or itchy eyes, and or
- Skin irritation.
Repeat exposure to molds can increase our sensitivity to them, causing a more severe allergic reaction.
IMPORTANT: Be aware, this test requires the user to attend the nearest collection centre (see below). No additional charges apply.
Why use the Harmful Molds Test?
The Harmful Molds Test is used to rule out common molds as a contributing factor when investigating the cause of a physical reaction or irritation. This test can also be used to put to rest any concerns about long term exposure and possible contamination via ingestion.

Why is the American spelling of the word “moulds” used here? That’s because our website is tuned that way, but it is something we plan on addressing.
